The End? New Rule Effectively Repeals ‘Individual Mandate’ Requirement Of Obamacare – Media SilentBy Robert Gehl on March 12, 2014

Don’t like Obamacare? Don’t want Obamacare? Turns out, you don’t have to get it, and there’s no penalty. Not for the next two years, anyway.

With no fanfare and little media coverage, last week, the Obama Administration quietly exempted millions of Americans to purchase health insurance or pay a fine.

According to The Wall Street Journal, the suspension was “buried” in a rule that few people paid attention to.

According to a memo released by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, if purchasing Obamacare is a “hardship,” for many reasons, you merely need to fill our a form that gives you exemption from the tax.

How do you qualify for an exemption? Well, just about anybody does, really. People qualify if their previous insurance was less expensive, if you consider Obamacare unaffordable or if “you experience another hardship in obtaining health insurance.” How do you prove you experienced that particular “hardship?” Just provide documentation “if possible.”

So conceivably anybody qualifies for exemption for Obamacare, for the next two years.

This lax standard—no formula or hard test beyond a person’s belief—at least ostensibly requires proof such as an insurer termination notice. But people can also qualify for hardships for the unspecified nonreason that “you experienced another hardship in obtaining health insurance,” which only requires “documentation if possible.” And yet another waiver is available to those who say they are merely unable to afford coverage, regardless of their prior insurance. In a word, these shifting legal benchmarks offer an exemption to everyone who conceivably wants one.

So there you go. Here’s the link to the form again. It’s only a few pages. Fill it out, mail it in, and you’re done!

Wow … what a disaster Obamacare is.
