Great article, that's the way I like to start my day reading something like this.

I would have enjoyed it if the whole spin of the article wasn't "southern whites are racist bigots."

CNN needs to get this straight. It's not a race thing.

"Anytime an employer ... decides to do that—reduce an employee's hours or terminate employees so they don't have to provide them with health-care coverage—that could give rise to a claim," said Christopher Williams, a fiduciary product manager at Travelers Insurance. His firm recently launched coverage for ACA-related risk.

Williams said Obamacare litigation risk is something most large firms haven't thought much about yet, but plenty of lawyers are focused on the issue.

"There's thousands of pages of regulations, and they're going to look through those statutes ... to come up with novel causes of action. We've started to see that already," he said. "There are some plaintiff law firms that are looking for clients whose hours have been reduced below 30 hours a week."

A law written by lawyers which will provide lawyers with plenty of novel stuff to do. I wish my profession worked like that.

I mean when health insurance is being held to wallet like a gun to my head sure. I'm 26, not married and in good health. All I want and need is a catastrophic plan. The money I'm pumping into a comprehensive plan that won't get me taxed could be spent stimulating the economy by being a consumer.

You can still get a plan with a high deduction that will only pay 50% on the cheap. That may fit your needs

He doesn't have to get insurance.

But he will pay a fine if he decides not to. Which is fair! Because tax payer dollars are probably going to be used to pay his hospital bill if he is uninsured. So it makes sense to make him pay a fine.

Most 20somethings don't need any more coverage than a catastrophic plan and shouldn't be forced to pay for anything more than they need.

I'll admit I just popped into this thread and haven't read anything for context, but can't you get a catastrophic plan under Obamacare up until age 27?

Fair? Lol you're a special kind of dumb if you believe that. How's it fair to pay a tax/fine in lieu of forcibly buying insurance just to pay for others insurance?

Because when he does end up in the hospital and the bill gets written off, he's atleast already paid for part of it.

Same way it's fair that my $1,000 procedure cost me $10,000 because I have to pay for uninsured low-lifes.

As I've said in the past, I'm all for hospitals being allowed to reject care based on lack of proof of ability to pay, just like a bank would for a mortgage. Of course there are a lot of holes in this as well.
