So the penalty will be paid to the insurance


Posted: Jun 26, 2017

We are stupid.  Maybe Republicans are.  But, there is no difference between paying govmt penalty from paying insurance company penalty, except....oh, yeah...the premiums are going to be higher for people that need insurance too...no subsidies based on income.  We are totally screwed.

It will be okay though because the republicans - spin it so it doesn't look bad.

I've said all along you have to have a mandate and they said they are getting rid of it. If you want it to work, no matter whose plan, everybody has to have it. They just chose to spin their mandate differently.

So, there will still be a mandate or you pay a penalty which now goes - to the insurance companies? nm

We don't really know anything yet, just waiting - to see what they actually

throw out there. That is what it sounds like though. Now if you lose your job and can't find one within 63 days, you'll pay a penalty if you don't have insurance. Good job pubs.

The penalty goes to the govt. It's a tax. - nm

Insurance Pro-choice? There's A Penalty.Jan 30, 2013
In 2014, people who choose not to buy insurance and don't quality for an exemption from the mandate will have to pay a fine of $95. The penalty increases to $695 by 2016, and then rises annually based on a pre-determined formula.

Get A Raise? Employer-paid Health Insurance? Retirement Plan?Feb 17, 2011
I am horrified at what is happening in Wisconsin and many other states.  There has been a systemic effort to take away our rights and this is just the latest. If you are a working medical transcriptionist you know only too well about the cuts to wages and benefits.  The corporate policies (using political influence) have offshored work, cut wages and benefits, driven workers into unemployment, so that the remaining workers will  grasp at any reduced wages and benefits that might ...

Undocumented Immigrants Paid $11.2 Billion In Taxes While GE Paid NothingJul 04, 2011
This past month, there was much outrage over the fact that General Electric, despite making $14.2 billion in profits, paid zero U.S. taxes in 2010. General Electric actually received tax credits of $3.2 billion from American taxpayers. At the same time that General Electric was not paying taxes, many undocumented immigrants, who are typically accused of taking advantage of the system while not contributing to it by many on the right, paid $11.2 billion in taxes. A new study by the I ...

PSU Did Not Get The Death Penalty BecauseJul 23, 2012
The NCAA says the Death Penality does not fit in this case.  The FOOTBALL TEAM would have to be guilty of crimes committed while on probation.  The FOOTBALL TEAM did not commit any crimes.  Current and incoming football players are released to play at other universities if they so desire, or are now "free agents."  I so agree with this.  It is a shame that they will feel the affects of the punishment to the university, but there is no getting around it.  It had to b ...

Obamacare: Penalty On Top Of PremiumJan 27, 2013
"The Affordable Care Act — 'Obamacare' to its detractors — allows health insurers to charge smokers buying individual policies up to 50 percent higher premiums starting next Jan. 1. "For a 55-year-old smoker, the penalty could reach nearly $4,250 a year. A 60-year-old could wind up paying nearly $5,100 on top of premiums." Using their logic, there should be penalties on top of premiums for alcohol drinkers, overeaters, pot smokers, sugar lovers, coffee drinkers, etc., etc. ...

Why Are Supporters Of The Death PenaltyOct 01, 2015
I know the system can be flawed. I know sometimes the wrong person is convicted of stealing, or whatever. But, when the penalty has escalated to the death penalty, any doubt, any evidence, no matter when it is found, nothing matters, it all should be considered and we should never put a person to death if there is any doubt at all. So many seem so eager and interested in the process that the actual cases do not really matter. This is such a vengeful society, at least when it suits. ...

Poor Mitt.  He was born with a silver waffle iron in his mouth.  Proceed with caution.  Readers are at risk for severe whiplash trying to keep up with the contradictions in this piece.  It really gets interesting when he starts explaining why Obama's penalty is a tax and his tax (what he has called it on numerous past occasions when promoting his own plan) is a penalty.  Though he can't even take a stand on his own positions, he do ...

Interesting Death Penalty ArticleJul 07, 2015
On the whole, Louisiana sounds pretty scary. Death penalty and the "depraved" crimes being committed. Of course, I would have interest in neither, so I idealistically am against the death penalty. I feel a little sorrow everytime a death penalty is issued and an emptiness when someone is executed in our state. http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/louisiana-prosecutor-becomes-blunt-spokesman-for-death-penalty/ar-AAcFQRq ...

US Execution Capital Reconsiders The Death PenaltyDec 06, 2010
New York - On Monday, Dec. 6, a district court in Texas will be asked – for the first time in that U.S. state's history – to decide whether the death penalty is unconstitutional based on the "disproportionately high risk of wrongful convictions" in Texas. John Edward Green, Jr., the defendant in Texas v. Green, is charged in the fatal shooting of a 34-year-old Houston woman during a 2008 robbery. He has not yet been convicted, but prosecutors say they would seek the ...

Do You Think Penn State Football Program Should Get The Death Penalty?Jul 16, 2012
Haven't made up my mind.  I see both sides of the argument.  First of all, so very many people will suffer who had nothing to do with the child sex abuse cover-up.  In reading arguments for and against, perhaps it is true that the persons responsible and or involved in any way should be fired, jailed, labeled as sex offenders, and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP, and the football program should remain intact, as it is not fair to punish the ...

Trump-- This Says It All--I'm Not Getting PaidAug 08, 2015
He remarks on his time at the debate "I'm not getting paid for this." I wonder if he were to be awarded the PRIVILEGE of the presidency that he would consider the duties important enough to warrant his time and attention, due diligence and civility? Does the job PAY enough to warrant that for him? I mean he's "RICH" and all.

Medicare Improperly Paid Jan 24, 2013
"Illegal immigrants and prison inmates received more than $120 million in Medicare services from 2009-2011 despite federal law that makes them ineligible for the program, according to two new reports from the HHS inspector general.

But often, Medicare’s databases aren’t up to date, and improper payments go o ...
