The first time some asshat who thought he didnt need health insurance needed brain surgery and we let the cock sucker die a lot of people would change their minds about health insurance.

I don't disagree with that, in principle, however...two years ago, I DID in fact, almost die...and I am paying for the bills, and subsequent medical expenses.
But even without that incident, my insurance would be nearly $300 a month. I hear how this is "oh so fair..." but it is NOT.
People that make a lot of money, and can afford insurance, are being RAPED for their insurance premiums, and that just subsidies those who do not have any (and can not pay for their bills like I am).
This is not "auto insurance" where some other persons life can be taken, or hurt, in a wreck.
This should never EVER just be forced upon us as a nation...and it IS bullshit, regardless how you, or anyone else wants to slice it.
As far as the "fine" of $95...wait until you find out what it really is, and will become...
Obamacare Penalty And Fines
The biggest point being buzzed about is the well-known Obamacare penalty. The policy forces individuals opting out of any form of health insurance to pay a ?penalty fine?, which is more appropriately a tax. You must be signed up for health insurance by December 25, 2013 in order to Obamacare penalty. The original Obamacare penalty maxes out at $285 or one percent of the income for a family of four. In 2016, the Obamacare penalty maxes at $695 per person, $2,085 for the family, or 2.5 percent of taxable income, which amounts to $173.75 per month.
