A lot of noise has been made about the other 1 percent who have been scrutinized as of late, approximately 1% of Americans that will be taxed or mandated with the requirement to pay for health coverage as a result of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) legislation.
After being questioned on Air Force One, Jay Carney the White House Press Secretary stated,
It’s a penalty because you have a choice, you don’t have a choice to pay your taxes, right? You have a choice to buy — if you can afford health insurance. … So if you don’t buy it, and you can afford it, it is an irresponsible thing to do to ask the rest of America’s taxpayers to pay for your care when you go to the emergency room. So your choice is to purchase healthcare reform or a penalty will be administered.
