Hold it a minute...it says that if you don't have insurance, you'll pay the tax, and it's irrelevent whether you willfully go without or are unable to get it? So, if I lose my job, and therefore my insurance, my taxes would go up? Whose bright idea was that? (Don't answer.)
You know, I'm an eternal optimist. I believe in America. For the most part, I believed that the government was not bad, and that most government workers are good people doing their jobs to support their families. I believed that the flaw in government was career politicians, who saw their job in terms of doing what needs to be done to keep the job, and not necessarily doing what's right.
Not sure what I believe anymore...
