Do the math how much you are going to pay yearly for having no insurance and how much you pay into the medicare tax.
Looks like you will be paying for uninsured children under the individual mandate too.
Total this up for your working lifetime adjusting for future tax increase and income.
Basically the government is getting a contribution from you to cover medicaid unless you are eligible or become eligible. You are paying it to the government. Right?
Nothing comes for free. Unless you have no income.
Too bad he stole 750 billion from medicare. Grandma and Grandpa will now have less care available.

Penalties
excerpt:
Beginning in 2014, the federal government will impose new fines on citizens and legal residents who do not obtain government-approved insurance. Those without insurance will pay a tax that is the greater of a flat fee, or a percentage of family income. The flat fee will be phased in over several years. In 2014, the penalty will be $95 per adult in an uninsured household, increasing to $325 in 2015, then to $695 in 2016, after which it will increase annually in line with consumer inflation. For uninsured children, the fine will be half the amount applied to uninsured adults. If greater, households pay 1 percent of their income in 2014, 2 percent in 2015, and 2.5 percent in 2016 and thereafter in lieu of the flat per person fee.
