    Yes, you complained about your data source. I understand that.

    Did you follow my link? Have you ever posted in an honest way about the status quo and what we have been spending on healthcare in this country? It was absurd.

    Maybe Obamacare will be worse, as you and others believe, but the financial data is not the place to criticize the ACA at this point in time, especially not with respect to the option of not trying anything.

    I guess the only choice we have is to go ahead an implement single payer.

    That's a question for the republican party. They made up the phrase.

    40+ votes for repealing ACA knowing the votes meant nothing? Almost bringing the country to default twice and destroying the economy trying to defund the law?

    Who's been playing games Space Ghost?

    Oh, and I'm the problem with the political system because I want people to have affordable healthcare? weird

    I love reading comments on the chron's page, people shouting how they will not comply and how they will somehow "boycott obamacare"

    I believe them. I'm not sure I'm going to comply or at the very least, go without Health Care simply because I can't afford the monthly premiums I've seen.

    I don't think I'm an outlier.

    That's great. I dare you to post your tax return when this happens and you pay the penalty. :)

    I will send you 5 bucks for having entertained me if you do. This reduces your cost to only 90 bucks.

    Why? :rolleyes: I don't plan on skipping the individual mandate as part of some fake internet troll crusade about health insurance costs. I have insurance, and will continue to have it.

    The penalty is actually 1% of income or $95.

    If you can't afford it then there are exemptions so you don't have to pay the tax.

    It's true.

    http://www.gallup.com/poll/166115/one-four-uninsured-plan-remain.aspx

    Half of GOP uninsured plan to remain that way, while a majority of Independents and especially Democrats plan to get insurance.

    Why assume its some internet crusade? You're making a lot of assumptions about me for someone that doesn't even know my first name.

    I'm being honest here. Ya I know...its difficult for the posters out there like yourself who makes a living out of posting in the GARM that this law actually sucks donkey dick in real life for some.

    I get it. You like Obama and assume that all criticism is invalid. Whatever dude.

    Don't bother responding to Sam or Mcmark. They both are trolls.

    This probably has a lot to do with their perception of what the pricing is going to look like.

    Democrats (favorable opinion of Obamacare) tend to think the pricing is going to be really good.

    Republicans tend to think the pricing is going to be horrible.

    Dollars make the decision. There will be democrats who find the pricing to be much higher than anticipated and will not sign up. There will be republicans who find the benefits to be better than they think and they sign up.
