> Obama added penalties for not having health insurance

Which were easily waived during your tax return process by showing you were below X income line.

I was making $27K a year at my previous job and couldn't afford health insurance. All I had to do was check off that I couldn't afford it in turbo tax which then verified I was below the cutoff line and the fees were waived.

That was for the first year. After that you got charged. Trump did an executive order that discontinued that.

No, my penalties were waived more than one year.
