I actually fall roughly into this camp as well. I can technically afford $200/mo, but I'd rather not. I need to figure out what I'm actually going to do in the next month and I haven't gotten around to doing so. > Isn't this the opposite of free health care? I'm not involved in this debate one way or the other. I don't know enough about the issues. One of the side effects of not being involved in the debate means you don't realize that the actual "free healthcare" option was taken off the table due to spirited lobbying. On the balance, I'm willing to eat the cost either way (getting healthcare, or being penalized) if it means people who were entirely unable to get it before are able to do so now. But then again, I'm crazy. Either because I'm nominally altruistic or because I don't have health care or whatever. I'm sure a reason can be found. I would have preferred to have the dread specter of "long lines" combined with actual free health care for everyone than this, but eh. Politics.
