Yay! We Get a Six-Week Extension on Paying Our Obamacare Fines!Melissa Melton Have no fear, America; the government has graciously announced we will get a six-week extension on paying our Obamacare penalties if we do not sign up for health insurance under the Affordable Care Act or find some other insurance that meets criteria within the time period stipulated. The Department of Health and Human Services is giving us six more weeks after March 31st to buy our insurance through the government and the complete box of fail that is Healthcare.gov. for now, this fiasco will cost each and every American out of pocket cash money. Relatively low, the amount of the fine for 2014 is 1% of your annual income or $95 per person, whichever is higher. This may not seem like much, but if you earn a $20,000 salary, a $200 bill is in many cases not affordable. The fine for uninsured children is $47.50 per child with a family cap of $285 (the government half dozen deal?). After 2014, things get increasingly worse. In just two years, 2016, the fine is estimated to reach $695 per person or 2.5% of your annual income, yikes! Remember paying the fine is not health insurance. (source) And remember, paying the fines will be cheaper for both businesses and most individuals than buying the actual insurance. So businesses wont be forced to insure employees or any wishful thinking positive spin like that they will only be forced to pay a brand spanking new fine to the government to continue not to insure their employees. Same for everyone else. Paying the fine will be cheaper than buying the insurance. Thats why stories abound of companies dropping or downgrading their employee insurance in favor of paying the government fines instead. Dont like allopathic medicine? Dont take pharmaceuticals? Favor homeopathic and alternative cures to Big Pharma? Better get used to paying a yearly fine to the government, too. After all, it shouldnt be up to the people how they want to handle their own treatments, and no one knows how to handle your health decisions better than a government that cant even build a website.
