Following the Obama administration’s recent changes regarding the health-care law’s individual mandate, White House adviser David Simas avoided answering whether all Americans would eventually be exempted from paying a penalty for going uninsured through the end of 2014.
“Is there going to be a single person in 2014 that’s going to pay the penalty, a single uninsured American that is going to end up paying the penalty in 2014 at this point?,” asked MSNBC host Chuck Todd on Friday.
“Chuck, I can’t talk to you about how many people are going to be subject to the penalty,” Simas responded, before moving on to highlight Massachusetts’ history with its health-care law.
