    1. Which group is “most people”? We have paid the penalty since its inception for my wife at almost double the amount every year. I have never heard that it was waived for anyone.

    1. They were, but Obama granted exceptions to all. The ACA preamble stated that it was binding unto Congress. The basis of the Presidential exceptions? Financial Hardship! What’s wrong here?

      1. The exemption for congress critters and their staff was to classify them as “small businesses”,maybe they should have to deal with all small business regulations

    2. Its my understanding that they sorta did have obama care but when they conplained they “couldn’t afford it” obama put in a clause for the federal government to pay 72% of the cost that everyone else had to pay themsleves. I have seen citizens that had obama care come in and find out they had a 6000 dollar deductable before obamcare paid a dime. (ever see a smile turn upside downlol?)

  3. I’ll have to learn more about “glyphosate” since I use this annually to prep fields for planting. If it is direct exposure during mixing I can control that, but if it is something else that does not break down in the environment then I’ll need to change what I’m doing for sure.

    1. We used to use it quite a bit, but I quit about 4 years ago. There is a species of grass and also some broad-leaf ground cover that locals call “pig weed” that doesn’t seem to be affected by it. All I did was kill off the competing plants and those two have gone crazy and are nearly unmanageable now.

  4. Mio, only people who were eligible for welfare benefits were waived from fines.
    My wife was without coverage for the month of January of 2016 because, after 2 years of little work, she found a temporary part time job at Walmart (who does not provide coverage) it cost us $800 off our tax return! (her gross pay for that month was less than $700, net was less!)
    She’d a been better off financially not looking for work!
    BTW: many folk think SS has already been taxed and can’t be taxed again…….. just make over 30K on a joint return and see what happens!

    1. Well… not true. The law doesn’t authorize the IRS to go out and collect the fine. However if you have a refund coming they will deduct that fine from your refund. It is somewhat up in the air what happens to those unpaid fines. Technically you still owe them and probably if Hillary had won the IRS would have been authorized to collect them. So don’t count your chicken just yet.

  6. If there was anyone who still believed that we have two political parties with different goals the recent “Repeal” of the Affordable Care Act should have removed all doubt. A little investigation will reveal that any meaningful differences in the actual goals of the two parties disappeared in the 1960 election cycle. The national leadership of both parties has since that time been of one heart and mind. Everything else is just entertainment for the masses.

  7. re: Obamacare ‘Skinny Repeal Vote:’
    The two ‘GOP’ female Senators who voted against the bill stated that their no vote was to preserve funding for Planned Parenthood.
    I surmise they expect to attract and hold women’s votes. May they pay a price for each child aborted!

  8. We actually lost our insurance BECAUSE of Obamacare. The company went out of business and because of our age (60) the cheapest we could find was $2500 per month. We found an alternative in Medi-share. A Christian alternative to insurance that exempts you from the fine.

  9. Do you all remember how obama care was sent to the government agency for evaluation and they said “yes it will save millions” The democrats cut what medicare was to pay doctors by 30 percent across the board. A new byppass usrgery $100,000 nope you get 70,000 etc. This would save millions or billions across the country. One month after obamacare was passed the congress came back in session and reinstated the 30 % and added 6% this is why obamcare was endorsed by the American Medical association and AARP . they knew the fix was in and (some) americans were fooled into believing their lies until it was to late.

  12. My retired neighbor in the mountains were told they don’t make enough income to qualify for a subsidy for Ocare but no worries since they don’t qualify they don’t have to pay the fine and they can get “free” medicade. So they go to medicade and they were told yes your income qualifies you for medicade but you own your home and have to much in assets, so sell your home and you will get your “free” healthcare. So the government would prefer you homeless to force you to submit to their “care”.
