Nobody forces people to buy this. The tax "penalty" for not purchasing a plan is typically much less than the health insurance premiums are. The tax penalty ends up being, I believe, a max of 1%-2.5% of annual income, whereas the premiums are loosly based around 4-8% of an anual income.

Additionally many people can be exempt. The situation where the guy earns $8,000 per year and the premium would end up costing him 50% of his income is FALSE.

Anytime the premiums end up being over a given threshhold (I think it's currently 9%) that person can apply and will get exemption from needing to purchase the plan.

Your ruining these racist assholes negroid dreams let them keep on hating.
