I have no idea if true, or even if the references to tiers, and penalties are legit...
but posting it for your reading pleasure...

. Read this about a guy who signed up for ObamaCare and then found he couldn't afford it so he dropped it. This is very interesting and scary.

" I deleted a name and address from this portion... "


RE: OBAMACARE a comment posted on the Affordable Care Act/Obamacare

"I actually made it through this morning at 8:00 AM. I have a preexisting condition (Type 1 Diabetes) and my income base was 45K-55K annually. I chose tier 2 "Silver Plan" and my monthly premiums came out to $597.00 with $13,988 yearly deductible!!!



There is NO POSSIBLE way that I can afford this so I "opt-out" and chose to continue along with no insurance. I received an email tonight at 5:00 P.M. informing me that my fine would be $4,037 and could be attached to my yearly income tax return. Then you make it to the "REPERCUSSIONS PORTION" for "non-payment" of yearly fine. First, your driver

I hear people I thought knew better all the time talk about how they "went to the site to get a price."

WHY???

Hell I was caught by the "greed hook" one time with a well known insurance company- "one ten minute call (read one intrusive 20 minute reaming) might save you 10%" After answering way way more than they needed to give me a quote on the phone, I asked for the quote "we still need to get some more information" I replied "No you don't, give me a ballpark or I'm hanging up." "We don't do that sir" Good bye.

DATA MINING is all that website is about, be careful.

When stores ask for my zip, phone, or email I politely decline. Too many sheep out there just give it away.

To many people say "I'll just pay the $95 fine and go without insurance".... It's NOT just a $95 fine!!! It's $95 OR 1% of your INCOME!!! Big difference!

And "Affordable"???? My brother is a realtor, so he has to buy his own insurance... His plan, which he liked, was discontinued... His new "Obamaplan" is $450 MORE per month than his old plan... And it's just him - no wife or children..
