Obamacare: Don’t pay Insurance fine? Go to Jail!

I don’t think anyone would disagree when I say that the Heath Insurance industry needs reform but I keep reading more and more idiotic suggestions and decisions from our “leaders” in DC.. This one was irritating but not suprising..

Ensign receives handwritten confirmation
This doesn’t happen often enough.

Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.) received a handwritten note Thursday from Joint Committee on Taxation Chief of Staff Tom Barthold confirming the penalty for failing to pay the up to $1,900 fee for not buying health insurance.

Violators could be charged with a misdemeanor and could face up to a year in jail or a $25,000 penalty, Barthold wrote on JCT letterhead. He signed it “Sincerely, Thomas A. Barthold.”

The note was a follow-up to Ensign’s questioning at the markup.
