1. Like 6 months lapse penalty

So what happens if you are in that 6 month penalty window and a health tragedy hits?

2. next stop: make certain the uninsured can't vote

they've already got some pretty solid tactics for shutting down voters and suppressing turnout
now they can widen the target

3. Their plan will make the ER the doctor's office. Smaller hospitals will go under.

4. so the penalty is to bar the person from purchasing insurance if they have not

been continuously covered for 6 months!! so, the effect of this is that they will not be covered for another 6 months!! What sense does that make??

Senate GOP weighing penalties for uninsured in healthcare bill: report

Senate Republicans are mulling over a provision to their healthcare overhaul measure that could bar Americans from purchasing insurance on the individual market for six months if they don't maintain continuous coverage, Vox reported Saturday.

The provision would address concerns over the bill's current lack of penalties for those who choose not to purchase insurance, and could be introduced as soon as Monday, according to the report.
