There is also an individual mandate requiring all Americans to have health insurance, although the penalties for non-compliance are lower than penalties in the Senate bill, which imposes a maximum fine of $1,500 for families who forgo insurance.

Yeah, I seem to remember an argument I had with someone on Twitter not too long ago (COUGH@raybeckermanCOUGH) about how there would be no mandate forcing every citizen to get insurance. Well, sorry, but it looks like penalties will be dropped on folks who wish to opt out of what I like to call our Schadenfreude-based Health Care system (it's the kind of system that gets rich off of the misery of others).
Funny how it gets harder and harder to act with your morals.
