Penalties for not Buying into the Public Option?
Share with others
According to Politico Sen. Ensign received a handwritten note on Thursday claiming that there would be a $1,900 fee or jail time for not buying health insurance.
Looking closer this may be a bit exaggerated. It states” failure to file, pay, maintain appropriate records and the like” that there would be penalties. No where does it say that you must buy health insurance. It more implies that if you have the public option and you fail to file at the end of the year then there are penalties. This is also a handwritten note, with much more detail to be desired. I wish I had a copy of the bill so I could look up the entire section myself.
There are two things to be scared of:
1: The government actually imposing penalties for not buying into the public option.
2: Political extremists taking scribbles on paper as hard coded truth and proliferating it among the masses as such.
