Tax penalty to hit nearly 6M uninsured people

10. That doesn't make sense

If the people affected are making up to $50,000/year that means they are employed somehow. The unemployed are not affected by this tax because they would receive an exemption due to financial hardship, right? I don't see how improved employment numbers lower the 6,000,000 person estimate. Anyway, I don't see the article as an anti-Obama hit piece. It provides statements from both sides, points out that it is based on Republican legislation, talks about financial incentives for lower and middle income families to balance out the penalty, most of those being penalized doing it out of choice and so on. I thought the article was pretty fair.
