But in any case it is extremely unlikely the number would be as high as $88 million, said Anne Timmons, director of employee benefits for the Department of Budget & Management.

ReplyDeleteIf you can't afford your premium offered by Obamacare, you get to pay an annual fee for opting out of health insurance. This looks eerily like a healthcare monopoly in the works.
