Forcing people to buy a product at gunpoint isn't radical?
oooo gunpoint...... how dramatic......
Actually, the fine is about $695 per person per year or 2% of income, whichever is greater. The money is used to offset the costs of uninsured mooching services from hospitals for free, services which used to paid for by taxpayers. Which I why I can't understand why conservatives hate the penalty so much. They're always bitching about poor people not paying taxes. You'd think conservatives would be dancing with glee at the thought of poor people paying money that is essentially a tax.
