The new health care plan

Tweet

I would like to know what others think. If I understand the new health care plan correct then every person is require to carry health insurance, if the person doesn't have health insurance the penalty is $800.00 or 2 % of the AGI, which ever is greater, for each year not covered. Employers who don't provide health insurance pay a penalty of $2000.00 for each non-covered employee per year. I would like to know what other people think about the new health care plan and what people are planning to do if for example they are unemployed. The penalty is $800.00 that is if I understood it correctly. The days the average individual pays between $3000.00 and $4000.00 per year for regular health insurance coverage, nothing really special. Plus the premiums have increase by about 25%. If a person is unemployed or they hours were reduced due to the economy who have afford paying a health insurance premium of about $333.00 a month? Would many people not just opt for paying the $800.00 penalty?
