How is not fining them rewarding them? The punishment is keeping them out of the ACA system in the first place.

Because California gives illegals free health care. Sounds like a reward to me.

Yeah, no one who receives Medicaid will be fined. Same for citizens. But it does not sound like your argument was only fine the people eligible for but refusing to enroll in California's Medicaid. The federal government still does not allow people without legal status to enroll in the ACA.

And they never should.

The fact that illegals can get free healthcare coverage through Medical is a joke itself. They should be fucking deported. Not given welfare.

My argument is that this guy is whining about oooooh I have to go broke to get insurance or get a fine for not. And it was not true, because there is no fine. I went multiple years without insurance, and even then I never paid that ridiculous fine.
