Obamacare continues to be unpopular, and now people will be faced with a hundreds of dollar fine if they refuse to join.
The stick’s getting a lot bigger — but it’s not clear that many more people will choose the carrot as a result.
Households that opt to go without health insurance in 2016 are set to get hit with an average Obamacare fine of $969.
That is 47 percent higher than the average $661 penalty per uninsured household for this year, a new analysis by the Kaiser Family Foundation revealed Wednesday.
And households without insurance that earn too much to qualify for financial aid to buy Obamacare plans will pay an even larger fine for 2016 — an average of $1,450, versus the average of $1,177 for 2015.
Uninsured households that would qualify for Obamacare subsidies to help pay for coverage face an average fine of $738 — nearly double the $389 average for this year.
“It’s a substantial increase,” said Larry Levitt, senior vice president at the Kaiser Family Foundation, about the higher average fines.
All this to force people to buy into a program that is apparently a vast improvement to our healthcare system? Seems unlikely. Rather, the Obama Administration is likely trying to salvage the scraps of their oft-ridiculed, failed plan.

We the people
What Obama, Isis, the Pentagon, The CIA, and NSA, all politicians govt officials, the White house, and GOP including Trump is, there is a group that has called themselve’s Anonymous, that are not in no means a small group. They are a secret society that has hand picked under the microscope the best of the best mathematicians, computer programmers, i.e., brilliant people that have joined in the cause they are standing for. They hacked into private information that only i thought was possible. Anyway, it won’t be Obama, Isis, Trump, or any national security organization out there we’ll have to worry about. It will be Anonymous. Take heed. They have knowledge above and beyond Steve jobs, Mark Zuckerburg, or whomever who put on the list, on the table. Every person breathing, they know everything you post and chat to whomever, all your emails, and secrets. All your records. This is for real. Someone with that power and knowledge can do whatever they want. And if things on Capitol hill don’t change very soon, like i said early today, expect the worst. Anonymous is everywhere, not just a few people, they are a huge group with the best high tech cutting edge equipment out there. Take heed.
Don’t tread on me.
Obamacare HAS to be repealed, the IRS abolished, and a flat tax established (among other things).
I can easily kill him. I have allies from Jesus.
I won’t f that I work hard and don’t go to doctors
If it is so good, why do you have to pay a fine if you don’t have it ?
