You're right but we aren't talking about MA. My post is based on Obamacare's 2014 penalty being 1% in 2014, 2% for 2015 and 2.5% in 2016.

One item I did leave out is that the penalty cannot be higher than the average cost of the Bronze Plan. Something I haven't looked at is what types of deductibles and coverage comes with the Bronze Plan.

Now, if you consider that the penalty *doubles* in 2015, it looks like Obamacare takes into consideration Obama's promise of "cheaper health care" was laughable - as costs are projected to continue to soar.

My next post will show the penalty amounts, can't upload via the phone.
Look forward to it. It'll save me from having to do a bunch of annoying math if you have a "cheat-sheet".
