Re: What is the real tax penalty if you don't have health insurance

Why ae you arguing the parade of horribles? If there is evidence that my cell phone is causing some kind of difficulties, then I should pay a tax. (read up on externalities.) Now, as to the heatlh care mandate, there is an externality problem here.  In the event that someone opts out of the market and then requires medical services of any kind, that puts a burden on the taxpayer. If people choose to be irresponsible, then government needs to step in. Part of reason health care costs are high is that we as taxpayers pay for the highest priced service of all...the ER used because the sick person could not enter the system earlier. If you're worried about a bureaucracy making your hwealth care decisions, don't., It already is: insurance companies.

 

I think that health care should be regulated like any other monopoly. No fooling.

 

Roberts crossed the line for one of several reasons:

 

Maybe he doesn't want history to write about his all far right court.

Maybe the hospital companies and suppliers of healthcare services appealed to him. We know he thinks corporations are the same people.

Maybe he has a heart after all. I am sure some of the cases presented were heart breaking

If the mandate is a tax, then either the health care premium OR the penalty can be seen as a tax if one does not have health insurance (the younf for example)...  There is also a tax on all tanning visits...  In the end, the government could tax you for NOT having a cell phone account... 

And of course there is the backdrop "Obama lied" to pass Obamacare...
