If you don't get it, you pay a tax penalty.
Last time I checked tax penalties were legal.
Are you aware that the one thing that every judge that has ruled on the mandate agrees on is that the penalty is not a tax? Given that simple agreement even among the judges that say the mandate is Constitutional why do you insist on basing your defense of the mandate on the one argument that is flat out wrong?

lol. If you pay it to the IRS, it is a tax.
The law itself went out of its way to make sure it is not a tax so that Obama could not be accused of raising taxes on people making less than $250,000 a year. By the way, if you pay interests and penalties to the IRS they are not taxes, they are interests and penalties. They would be unconstitutional if they were taxes.
