there is a cap on the penalties, regardless of income, which is the annual cost of a basic health insurance policy on a <a href="http://money.usnews.com/money/blogs/my-money/2013/08/02/a-quick-guide-to-health-insurance-exchanges" style="color: rgb(0, 94, 166); text-decoration: none;">state health insurance exchange</a>.

<div><div dir="ltr">I was listening to the Mike Huckabee Show this morning and at about 11:40am a caller named 'Joe' from Moscow, ID phoned to weigh in on Obamacare. I was hoping it was Dr. Joe Campbell and that he was going to shred the Huckster. Instead, Joe was a 26 year old student agreeing with him. I recorded the last 90 seconds of the call but the argument being made against Obamacare was quite weak especially given the narrow range they were focusing on.<br><br>In short, as a student, Joe claimed he wouldn't be able to afford $190 per month for Obamacare so instead he'd just pay the $90 fine. Huckabee then said that he thought most people would just pay the fine as well - since it's supposedly the far cheaper route the them - and when they got sick, they would sign up for insurance that couldn't turn them down due to pre-existing condition, would seek treatment using this insurance, and then would drop it
