As I understand it, the bill forces all Americans to have health insurance. However, I think that the fine for having no health insurance is around $750. But after the year 2014, health insurance companies will not be able to turn customers away for preexisting conditions. Why wouldn't someone pay the fine or buy low end coverage until they got ill and supplement the coverage or buy an extensive plan?

This forum is for Firefox support questions and not for discussing questions like yours, so I'm gone lock this thread.

Maybe better to post this on a discussion forum elsewhere.
