    OBummer care did nothing to fix this. Other than collect a tax for bring a "John Wayne" type. And I'd be willing to bet you most of those fines "taxes" would never get collected. But we would have 1600 new IRS agents tracking the non payments....

    I honestly thought this ~might~ be one of the few things that ACA got right. And in the end they fucked this up too.

    But I kept hearing anarchists and right wingers railing against "gubmint making them buy insurance". All along this is one area where I just don't and won't agree. Everybody pays... cause in the end every is going to get treatment if they need it.

    Will
