And the fact remains that most of the uninsured who will refuse to purchase insurance will either be at an income below the level to be penalized (3X the poverty level) or at an income (above 3X the poverty level - ie, about $65k for a family of four) where they can chose to pay $1500 fine or purchase affordable insurance (which would benefit the family).
The "go to jail" scenario is so extreme that it will virtually impact no one other than those who choose to be martyrs. The IRS is not going to prosecute someone for $1500 bucks.

where can I find out where I fall in this schedule of incomes and whatnot ? I don't have health care and I'm hoping a cheaper option will open up to me through all this. I looked into it about a year ago and it was gonna be like $500+ a month and I just thought that was ridiculous. I'm definitely pro national single payer system like Canada or other countries.
