Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
1. It isn't "affordable" - it's still d**n expensive.
2. Younger people will probably pay the fine en masse this year. However, the fine goes up every year. Eventually down the road people may just do it as the fine gets larger and larger.
I'm not getting political or saying this, that or the other, I do think that the reality is that calling it "affordable" is nonsense (and it's just going to get more and more and more expensive) and if more and more money does head in this direction, invest accordingly, both in terms of what will benefit and where money will not be spent as a result of having to be spent on insurance/healthcare (there was a thread that talked about this a while back.)
