No. Renting is still an option.....without penalty...In a way they're right.You say potatoooo....I say potaato.Fortunately this is a free society and being forced to buy any product is not within the powers of the federal government. They can tax us, but they cannot force us to buy insurance, which is not innumerable in the US Constitution.
You are wrong. The mandate never forces you to buy insurance.
1. Yes, the federal government can tax you.
2. The federal government can also give you a specific, targeted tax credit or reduction that you can only get if you do something specific -
have a kid, get a mortgage, BUY HEALTH INSURANCE, etc.
I already said they can't, ....
So all your RW pals who say the ACA forces people to buy insurance are full of shit?
By law, they aren't.
Point being, Uncle Sam is attempting to force a product we don't want down our throats. This is why it was designed to fail.
Does the mortgage deduction force you to buy a house?
Learn the difference between a tax and a deduction.
