The penalties will average a little more than $1,000 apiece in 2016, the Congressional Budget Office said in a report.
Most of the people paying the fine will be middle class. Obama pledged in 2008 not to raise taxes on individuals making less than $200,000 a year and couples making less than $250,000.
I guess the middle class just got the choice of whether to pay a $1000 fine or $2000+ to buy health insurance from some company. I wonder what the next campaign promise Obama is going to renege on?
