Don’t want Obamacare

How can the government fine people on their tax returns for not wanting or not being able to buy Obamacare?

If you do not qualify for the exemptions that they say you must have so you don’t have to have this insurance, you must pay a recurring fine on your tax returns. I do not see how this isn’t illegal.

How can the powers-that-be, who have very nice, free healthcare policies, let the people who have to struggle to get by have to go through this? It’s not fair.
