"How much difference does a single line on a tax form make? For Obamacare's individual mandate, the answer might be quite a lot.

"Following President Donald Trump's executive order instructing agencies to provide relief from the health law, the Internal Revenue Service appears to be taking a more lax approach to the coverage requirement."

That's actually a good thing for Obamacare. Not having to pay the penalties will make a lot of people happy and not mind it. Paying the penalty will piss them off and they'll want change.

Maybe, but it's going to drive the cost of insurace premiums up even more as healthy people are going to drop out again. So you'll be paying for three people's insurance in the future not just two.

That's going to make people equally mad if not madder.

"Aetna Inc. Chief Executive Officer Mark Bertolini escalated his criticism of the Affordable Care Act, saying Obamacare’s markets are nearing failure as premiums climb and healthier individuals drop out.

“It is in a death spiral,” Bertolini said in a video interview with the Wall Street Journal that aired Wednesday on the newspaper’s website. He predicted that more insurers will drop out of the market for 2018, following Humana Inc.’s decision to quit Obamacare entirely for next year."

Barrack Hussein Obama's legacy cause (not counting putting the state of a Iran on a pathway to owning and using nuclear weapons) can now...

R.I.P.

SMH - something this bad - something that was voted on 100s of times over the years - you would think... well you would think we would have something by now.

I am sure it is the democrats fault though, you know the most effective minority party in history.

$850 a month up from 300
with a 5k deductible is not insurance
that's 15 grand before obama turns the tap at 80/20.

so there's nothing to repeal here
and is crap for what it replaced

I lost my healthcare when the Obamacare disaster came about. While I am happy that many were able to get healthcare with preexisting conditions, this has been horrible on me.

I told my wife tonight that we would not have to pay the fine, or it appears so, that I was expecting. We are very happy about this right now. I do hope that a new plan comes into play that I can afford.

Well, in all fairness, the Democrats do solely own the pile of shit that is 0bamacare. Had they not passed a giant pile of shit bill that they hadn't read or thought through except for the partisan politics part, nobody would have to address the disaster. Just sayin.
