You build these grand cases on such specious reasoning.
Assuming by saying they can't afford it, you mean they can't afford public coverage.

Which apparently won't be so costly as private coverage, remember?

In fact, the whole point of this plan is to add an option that people can afford. Because most of those people without health care don't have it because they can't afford it.

Should I assume that nobody will be fined because they'll all just claim that they can't afford health care, and therefore will get tax credits?

Imagine how that will turn out.

EDIT: I suppose they will use some sort of poverty number to figure that out. Still doesn't explain my problem above.
