Because it's still the law for 2018. Effective 1/1/19, it is no longer the law.

Answer 4

Because the average person who refuses to have insurance costs the rest of the country over $10,000 a year, both because any hospital bills for more than the person can afford don't get paid and because it makes health insurance more expensive for everyone else.

When a person refuses to have insurance, that person is penalized less than the rest of the country. When a person refuses to have insurance, everyone gets penalized -- but mostly those with insurance are being penalized for the person who doesn't have it.

No. This question is. An uninsured person needing medical help puts the cost on all of us.

because OBAMA and the Democrits set it up that way. This is the last year it happens. President Trump and the Republicans ended it this year.

The penalties were set up to help pay for the subsidies for insurance. This is the last year for the penalties - the new tax plan ends them.

Those who forego health insurance can still get treated in the ER. However, by doing so these people are getting a free ride on the backs of hardworking Americans who have made the responsible choice to insure themselves against the injury and illness we all must face in our lives.

It's even more ridiculous for those who don't buy insurance and depend on us buyers for coverage at emergency rooms. Shame. Shame.
