I have not been able to afford insurance this year, just wondering?

Thanks Obama for the fine for not having insurance
Because the the plan I had that was 398.00 a month for my family only increased to 1400.00 a month in 2014
So I chose not to pay 1400.00 a month
So got a nice little fine
Thanks for the affordable care act.
Thanks for making it so affordable.

That my friend, is some Bull$#!t.
Still, beats the hell out of paying those preposterous premiums. I had to make a similar decision.

Sgt Richard Buckner - I am a Military Technician and an Army Reservist. Miltechs are required to use FEHB and cannot utilize Tricare. As a result, my premiums skyrocketed to more than my mortgage. I just can't do it without going under.

1SG (Join to see) - I also have had to make the decision between bills and healthcare. My entire adult life I have had insurance until this year when the cost went up just too much. It also was more than my mortgage. I guess many on here have insurance through the military, but us none 20's have to deal with this crap.

I'm waiting for my fine. What really sucks is that money will go to people who don't even work or contribute to anything.

I don't see any of the usual suspects defending the "shared responsibility tax." I'm fortunate my insurance is mostly paid for through my employer. unfortunately to keep the costs lower, I have to pay outrageous deductibles and the little purple pill I used to take went from 75 for a three month premium prescription to a 500 every three month ripoff. Now, I'm buying over the counter since no generic is available yet. I'm glad that they sell it that way, other wise I would be paying 2 grand a year for prescription Nexium.

Since I don't have insurance I use goodrx.com to get discounts on my blood pressure meds.
