In the Democrats' Health Care Bill: A provision to fine many of the uninsured $650 or so a year. Is this brilliant or brilliantly stupid?

Fining people who cannot afford to buy healthcare.

What geniuses.

Someone explain to me what the hell the Democrats are thinking.

And no, I didn’t get this info from the idiot Teaparty Republicans who actually manage to outshine the vast idiocy of the Democrats in Congress.

And yes, you can pounce on the Republicans for stalling, thwarting and trying to kill healthcare reform at every turn, but ultimately it is the Democrats who are trumpeting this bill proudly for its many OK provisions

But what kind of genius thinks that people without any expendable money should be fined for not buying something that they really want but just cannot afford?
