It is going to be $700 per family member and if your refund is not enough they will garnish your wages!
The Government's health insurance plan is going to force everyone to purchase health insurance, or face monetary fines as a punishment. It's unconstitutional to force a citizen to purchase a product, or fine them if they do not purchase a product.
Government health insurance is important because it is the only health care option available to some people. Programs like Medicaid service the children, the poor and the destitute while Medicare is designed for retirees. Other government health insurance options include Tricare, which treats active duty service members and their families, the Veterans Administration that provides health care for military veterans. Additionally, members of Congress and other government officials have their own health insurance plan. New government health insurance laws are going into effect that require all Americans to buy health insurance or face a fine. The move is intended to reduce average health insurance costs by forcing people who do not use health care to help offset the overall cost off coverage.
This bill if is it passed as is, will make it mandatory for everyone to have some sort of insurance or face a government fine.
If you are currently covered on your wife's health Insurance as well you should be fine.
Yes, but Obama has created this as a loophole to please insurance companies while still allowing people to have government health care. The "fine" for not having health insurance (and therefore having government health care instead) is only $300 per year, which is MUCH less than Americans pay for health insurance. It's the same as putting in a $300 a year tax increase to pay for health care, but he didn't call it that to trick the insurance companies into supporting it!! Haha, smart guy!!
16,000 new IRS agents will keep track of who has not paid for health care insurance and impose a tax or fine.
yes, in most cases the fine is cheaper than paying for insurance so most will
no so dont you redneck
You can go without insurance, but are liable for any damages you cause. If you have no car insurance and are pulled over or are involved in an accident, you may well get a ticket. That would depend on type of insurance we are discussing. If you do not have a auto, you do not need auto insurance in the United States. If you chose to drive and do not wish to have insurance, you must be able to provide proof you can cover a certain dollar amount in damages (this varies by state). If you are asking about life insurance, you do not need that either. Now health insurance is about to become much different if the current Administration gets their way and it does not get blocked in the legal system. Once health care for all becomes law, you will be required to buy health insurance, unless you are considered by our Government to be too poor to pay for it. If you fail to purchase this health insurance they will be able to fine you for not buying a private helath care package. Yes, shortly you will be required to carry health care.
What is the fine for no insurance
In most states you have to have car insurance to drive on the road. Most mortgage companies require homeowner's insurance. Health insurance is not currently required, but you may face a fine if you refuse to buy it beginning in 2014 under the health care reform bill. Life insurance, disability insurance, etc may sometimes be required for different things, but in general, most people don't have to have them.
AnswerSadly, yes. First the government will serve you with a fine and then if you still don't fall in line they can put you in jail. I believe it will be like the paupers prison of old.AnswerFalse. The Senate removed that provision in the Senate Finance Committee.Think of buying health insurance the same way you do auto insurance. If you drive, you must be insured or face a penalty if caught. Meanwhile, everyone else pays higher premiums to subsidize damages caused by uninsured drivers. Penalizing people who don't assume responsibility for themselves, or their risk, is reasonable. It would be expensive and impractical to send people to jail for failing to buy health insurance, so expect some lesser penalty, like a fine, perhaps garnished from your paycheck or withheld from your tax refund (guess).People who can't afford insurance will receive government subsidies, as will small companies with fewer than 25 employees. Benefits and coverage are expected to improve as a result of this legislation.
