The silliest part is the thinking that a $695 fine will convince someone to get a $6,000 healthcare plan when they can just wait until they get sick and no one can turn them down.

But then again, Mass. kind of operates the same way and they have a very low uninsured rate, so it may work in reducing the percentage of uninsured, but to me the math doesn't work out.
