HR 3962 has some teeth. If we don't have "acceptable" health insurance for ourselves and our children, there are some serious criminal costs.
Aside, this bill also defines a child as up to age 27! So, even if your kid is out on his own, if he does not have "acceptable" health covereage, it falls on the parents to pay the cost.
The criminal costs under Section 7203 state a fee of $25,000.
Section 7201 states the price for willful behavior not carrying "acceptable" health insurance. That cost is up to $250,000 and up to 5 years in prison.
What I am struggling to understand is the government's definition of "acceptable."
'til later
