Except, it strikes me that this is only a "tax" if you choose to make it a tax. I mean, if you're so anxious to have a "tax increase" to complain about that you're willing to drop the health insurance coverage you and your family have in order to incur the penalty, you're really living in Bachmannistan.
you have to CHOOSE to pay the government for nothing instead of paying an insurance company to get health coverage in return. I have no sympathy for this taxpayer, considering that those of us who pay health care insurance premiums have been paying for his or her health care all our lives.
