From the article in the OP, dumbasses: All Americans would be required for the first time to obtain insurance or face an annual penalty of $695
Which refutes that you can simply "wait until you're sick and purchase!"
Yea, go ahead, and pay an annual fine

OK.... A man makes 50K a year. His insurance costs him 7K a year. His penalty will be 1K if he is caught without insurance.
SO he gives it a whirl.....they wont catch me....I will save the 7K a year for now..
3 years goes by and no issue. He saved 21k....
Then the IRS cathces up to him and fines him 1K for each of the three years he did not have insurance.
Caught red handed! Yet he still nets out 18K.
Sounds like a plan to me.
No?
Domestic Abuse victims won't have the injuries they received while uninsured covered. On the other hand they are covered if they get insured and THEN develop cancer. Or fall and break their hip. Or.... the list gets long after just a touch doesn't it.Elimination of pre-exisitng conditions will result in exactly that.
You can be the one who can tell the domestic abuse victims that they won't be getting insurance since they got the shit beaten out of them.
Go ahead.

he did not get sick either right, that's why irs never caught up to him, right? so he never bought insurance to have them cover an illness....right?
so how does this example fit?

HHS: Insurance Companies Encourage Employees to "Revoke Sick People's Health Coverage"
By David S. Hilzenrath
You might have known that insurers can deny health coverage based on preexisting medical conditions, but heres something else to worry about: They can take away the coverage you thought you had when actually need it, the government says.
The Department of Health and Human Services put a spotlight on that practice Tuesday in its continuing campaign to build support for an overhaul of health insurance.
When a person is diagnosed with an expensive condition such as cancer, some insurance companies review his/her initial health status questionnaire, the HHS said in a posting at HealthReform.Gov. In most states, insurance companies can retroactively cancel individuals' policies if any condition was not disclosed when the policy was obtained,"even if the medical condition is unrelated, and even if the person was not aware of the condition at the time.

it's less than the premiums you'll be paying.

So are you denying that many do not buy insurance, especially the younger 20-30 generation becuase they believe they are not going to get sick and they prefer not spending the money?
How many times a year does your average healthy 25 year old go to the doctor? How many times a year MUST they see a doctor?
Yeah...that is what I am saying......people will gamble. They do it now....and in no way will the CHANCE of getting caught and having to pay 1K sway them into paying 7K a year for something they dont truly think they will need.
HOw many newlywed 25 year olds spend the 2K a year for a 500K term life insurance policy?
I bet it is less than 10%.
People will game the game and it is naive to think they will not.

why would someone at 25, making only a modest salary, turn down FREE health insurance or nearly free health insurance? the affordability credits to buy insurance in varying amounts will be there to subsidize their insurance if the bill is what they say it is?
also, WHY would someone with a preexisting condition of high blood pressure, hypertension, asthma, heart disease, etc, NOT BUY in to a health insurance plan....the whole point is that they could NOT buy in to a health insurance plan with their preexisting conditions because they were priced out of it...or denied coverage altogether by insurance companies?
BOTH THE REPUBLICANS and the democrats AGREE to this measure....so why argue over it? they both agree to covering preexisting conditions.
