Reduce the deficit?
Let me hear your theory on this, it ought to be an interesting one.
Between me, my wife and employees, I pay close to $5k a month for an HMO.
Now that the ACA is law, my employees can afford the 1% annual penalty tax of approx. $500
And I'm sure most small businesses like mine will do the same.
Our insurance company was getting about $58,000 a year for seven people, with the ACA fines (taxes) the federal government gets about $3,500 a year, where's the remaining $53,000 coming from?
The reduce the deficit is the biggest steam pile of this bill! When you throw 160billion at a 116billon problem on annual basis, who the fuck can say it reduces the deficit?

Until 2016, people opting out of insurance will have a 1% annual penalty tax imposed on them. An employee making $50k a year will have to pay $500 in taxes for the whole year.
The average annual cost of healthcare ins. in CA. is about $4,000, do the math dude, where's the extra money coming from?
LMAO I don't need to read the entire health bill to figure out this little charm and what I currently pay for healthcare.
You need to read my question, it's a reality bro!

Go ahead and set the record straight then.
Show me how a $13,000 family healthcare plan gets paid by a $2,000 tax.

"Not obtaining insurance in 2014 will cost a person $95 or 1% of his or her income, whichever is higher. In 2015, it's $325, or 2% of income. For families, the penalty will be $285 per household or 1% of income, whichever is greater. By 2016, it goes up to $2,085 per family or 2.5% of income. Penalties will rise each year"
