I am also sure the goverment will fix the authority to collect fines on those few that don't get a refund.

That would be pretty stupid, given the issue of building credits for Social Security, Workman's Comp., etc.

Reps: 204,543,538,207,281,248 (power: 0) | | *sigh* One way to look at it is, while Obama lied about increasing the tax on the middle class, he did keep his word about job creation. The law, however, severely limits the ability of the IRS to collect the penalties. There are no civil or criminal penalties for refusing to pay it and the IRS cannot seize bank accounts or dock wages to collect it. No interest accumulates for unpaid penalties.
So how can the IRS enforce the mandate? Scary letters and threats to withhold tax refunds.
The law allows the IRS to withhold tax refunds to collect the penalty, and most filers get refunds. This year, 77 percent of the 135 million individual income tax returns processed by the IRS qualified for a refund. The average refund: $2,707.
No real threat there. The tax payer has already given those monies to the IRS, so if they don't get them back they'll simply have paid a lesser premium for their national health care coverage. |

The IRS is expected to spend $881 million on the law from 2010 through 2013, hiring more than 2,700 new workers and upgrading its computer systems. Yup, that he did!

Note to Amber: Paying the tax means one did NOT purchase insurance and therefor has NO insurance.
