Loonier than expected
I remembered that the Romneycare mandate is due to expire at the end of this year. Or more accurately, the mandate will remain but the penalty for disobeying it will be zero dollars. You're still violating the law by not having "insurance", and the government can still prosecute you in other ways.
New Jersey's governor recognizes this distinction without a difference, and Jersey will continue enforcing the mandate with its own penalties.
Got curious to see if this was mentioned in the "news". Sometimes we get year-end "news" stories about upcoming changes in taxation.
Checked Bing, found out that the situation is even crazier. An appellate blackrobe has just now upheld a decision by a district blackrobe which "legally" eliminates the mandate itself, not just the penalty amount. As usual, "both" "sides" are screeching the usual hypercrazy shared lies. The Repooflicans are opposing Romney, and the Dems are supporting Romney.
Since this throws the whole situation into the senile lunatic laps of the Supreme Blackrobes, who will spend several decades "deciding" the matter without ever deciding it, we can assume that IRS will postpone removing the penalty. Can't do anything while the matter is still in litigation. All matters are always in litigation, so we can't do anything at all.
Even worse, the perpetual litigation will prevent anyone from pushing toward single-payer Medicare For All. The Dems who pretend to be for M4A will heave a sigh of relief. No need to pretend sanity when litigation takes the matter out of their hands. And ordinary Americans will continue to die.
First kill all the lawyers.
