ON THIS EMAIL, THERE ARE MANY LIES AND DISTORTIONS. If we are to take this Facebook user’s claims at face value -- that his
"income base was 45K-55K annually"-- and if he has no dependents, he
would not have to pay any more than $550, by 2015. To pay a penalty of
$4,037 in 2014, you would need to be making making more than $403,700 a
year.
The post includes many elements that make no sense or are flat-out wrong
-- and can be easily debunked by reading the law or reliable summaries
of it. We rate it Pants on Fire.
"I actually made it through this morning at 8:00 A.M. I have a
preexisting condition (Type 1 Diabetes) and my income base was 45K-55K
annually I chose tier 2 ‘Silver Plan’ and my monthly premiums came out
to $597.00 with $13,988 yearly deductible!!! There is NO POSSIBLE way
that I can afford this so I ‘opt-out’ and chose to continue along with
no insurance. I received an email tonight at 5:00 P.M. informing me that
my fine would be $4,037 and could be attached to my yearly income tax
return. Then you make it to the ‘REPERCUSSIONS PORTION’ for
‘non-payment’ of yearly fine. First, your drivers license will be
suspended until paid, and if you go 24 consecutive months with
‘Non-Payment’ and you happen to be a home owner, you will have a federal
tax lien placed on your home. You can agree to give your bank
information so that they can easy ‘Automatically withdraw’ your
‘penalties’ weekly, bi-weekly or monthly! This by no means is ‘Free’ or
even ‘Affordable’."
