9. You didn't address my point.

It wasn't that I think we should "punish" people with the tax, the point is that once we start excusing taxes for one certain portion of the population (who also happen to be your voters) you open the barn door that the Republican will gladly keep open.

This should have never been part of the law to begin with, but since it is we should follow that law.

Besides if you can't afford the tax, you won't be able to afford the insurance so next year your pain will be worse.

At last count President Obama has made something like 80 or more changes using his executive privilege to this law. It was bad when it was written and its bad now.
