Affordable Care Act Uninsured Penalty Calculator

Just ran the calculator, married 2 adults under 65 150K income, $2588.00 thats about $350.00 more than it cost to be insured. I really hate the kind of post that points out how we are getting screwed and can do nothing about it. Voting sure hasn't helped, we just voted in a bunch of dumbass republicans to stop this nonsense, and they vote to fund the ACA. Republicans and Democrats are but cheeks of the same ass.

You must have used the default year of 2015. Taxes filed this year are for 2014, and the minimum is $95 per uninsured adult.

My results, for tax year 2014:



So the key is to keep your income low - I think barter will be the wave of the future.



Nope - see above. They pulled a CYA to make sure the huddled masses didn't revolt. One can make 250k a year selling crack, and still not have to worry about it, because that's not a "taxable" income. Not only do you keep all your "earnings" in that case, but you still get to skate with food stamps and medicaid!

The wave of the future for America is "poverty" - this is designed to make it so. There is no incentive for growth and climbing out of the gutter if everything you make is going to be confiscated by the government and insurance corporations using the government as enforcer goons.

Just stay in the gutter, grab everything the government gives, and see how long it takes to break the system altogether so we can reboot this mess.

I do, however, recommend arming one's self no matter how poor - when the time comes for a reboot, you don't want the same guys... or at least the ones that survive... writing the code for the reboot all over again. That won't fix the broken programming, because it's been broken on purpose.
