Jimmy Kimmel Asks Which is Better: Affordable Care Act or ObamaCare

9 Types of Obamacare Exemptions

Obamacare’s exemptions are codified in Section 5000A of the tax code. There are nine explicit exemptions.

According to the law, the people WHO DO NOT have to comply with Obamacare’s mandate, and who will not face any penalty for noncompliance, are:
1.Individuals who cannot afford coverage. For 2014, this means people who cannot afford health insurance because the premium (based on the lowest-cost Bronze plan, or the individual’s share of an employer-sponsored plan) exceeds 8 percent of their household income. After 2014, the Secretary of Health and Human Services may revise the threshold.

2.Individuals with household income below the filing threshold. This means anyone who doesn’t have to file a federal income tax return.

3.Members of federally recognized Indian tribes. The Federal Register maintains a list of federally recognized Indian tribes.

4.Individuals who experience a hardship. According to HealthCare.gov, potential hardships may include being homeless, filing for bankruptcy, being a recent victim of domestic violence, or having been evicted in the past six months, among many others.

5.Individuals who experience a short coverage gap. In general, this means a lapse in coverage of less than three months in a calendar year.

6.Members of certain religious sects. Also sometimes called the “religious conscience” exemption, these religious sects must be recognized by the Social Security Administration as being “conscientiously opposed to accepting any insurance benefits,” the IRS explains. As described in Section 1402 of the tax code, these sects must have been in existence since at least December 31, 1950.

7.Members of a health care sharing ministry. Qualified nonprofit health care sharing ministries must meet the tax code’s definition of such a group, and must have been in existence since at least December 31, 1999.

8.Incarcerated individuals. This includes people in jail, prison, and other penal institutions.

9.Individuals who are not lawfully present. This means anyone who is not a U.S. citizen or national.

Broward School Board member Abby Freedman has withdrawn her son from the public school system she helps to oversee, deciding he would be better off in private school.

Freedman, who was elected last November, now pays $23,900 to send her 12-year-old son Harrison to Fort Lauderdale-based Pine Crest School, where he’s in the seventh grade.

Her concern isn’t with her son’s former school, Westglades Middle in Coral Springs, or the county school district. Instead, she said she’s fed up with state-mandated testing, especially the standardized end-of-course test given when students finish algebra, geometry, biology, U.S. history and civics.
