tvashtarkatena Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 No, that's not correct. It's a penalty paid when you pay your taxes if you don't buy it. There is no tax and credit provision. Quote
Crux Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 All right, thanks for the correction! Now I'm thinking that an early version of the bill did have the wording to provide a tax/credit tactic, precisely in order to make the bill more resilient against a constitutional test. (Maybe this was bargained out?) In any case, I'm about to read the law, as it is... not that Spray isn't worthwhile... Quote
tvashtarkatena Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 (edited) I think the credit would have been a better idea (I prefer incentives to mandates in general), but the Rfucks probably screamed TAX HIKE on it. Edited February 15, 2011 by tvashtarkatena Quote
archenemy Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 I know I don't want my taxes to be anymore complicated. Am I am sick of dealing with insurance -- I shouldn't have to worry so much about this shit. I think anyone who has had a long term illness or injury would agree that the paperwork involved in trying to get better is almost as bad as whatever ails you. Just friggen tax us and provide us some basic healthcare. Cut out the useless insurance bullcrap and let us pay for more care (directly) if we want it. Hell, I'd like to see doctor's advertising their prices anyhow and I'd like a receipt I can understand. This shouldn't be so hard. Quote
