Quote:Read it again. The author states that you will owe the money. The claim is that the ACA does not allow the IRS to collect the money by force (all sorts of loopholes in those 2000+ pages). Suppose you owe the IRS (say) $1000 in unpaid taxes and they fine you $600 for insufficient health insurance. If you pay the $1000 they can't force you to pay the rest. They can't take you to court or garnish your wages for the $600. That debt will remain on their records, but as long as you aren't owed a refund they have no way of forcing collection.


At least that's how I understand it, and that article wasn't the only place I read this.


 

But I agree. 02 should just pay the additional $50 per month. The government has the guns, we are just subjects.
