There is no ACA mandate, its a bluff.
If one doesnt buy insurance, hes subject to a fee.
If one doesnt pay the fee, his income tax return is garnished.
If one has no income tax return, nothing happens.
And all during this process the individual has no health insurance, as the ACA has no provision to force anyone to purchase health insurance.
But you and others on the right know this already, yet you keep the myth of the mandate alive nonetheless, for some perceived partisan gain.
I just wish they would drop the mandate and get rid of EMTALA. If we are giving people the opportunity to purchase insurance even when they cannot pay for it all themselves, then everyone has the opportunity to have coverage. If a person, in their all knowing wisdom, chooses not to purchase insurance then if they get sick, medical providers should be able to turn them away without treating them if they cannot provide proof that they can pay for their treatment. If they have cancer, they would be sent home to die with no treatment whatsoever.
I am pretty sure a lot of the idiots who are so against the mandate would go for this.
