Young man from Iowa ain't buyin'
Maggie Thatcher's line. He just plans on
being anti-society;
Ryan Moon of Des Moines, Iowa, graduated from college in 2013 with a
bachelor's in political science, and is still hunting for a permanent
job with benefits. He expects to pay a fine of $95. A supporter of the
health care law, he feels conflicted about its insurance mandate and
fines.
"I hate the idea that you have to pay a penalty, but at the
same time, it helps other people," said Moon, who's in his early 20s.
"It really helps society, but society has to be forced to help society."
Presumably there were no requirements to take an economics course to get that PoliSci degree. If there had been, this might have been avoided;
In Des Moines, recent college graduate Moon has held a succession of
temporary local and state government jobs that don't provide affordable
coverage. The penalties are on his mind.
"When it gets up to $325, I hope I have a career that actually offers me a good health care plan," he said.
Maybe he can't get started in a career BECAUSE of
society being
forced to help society.
