Let's say insurance costs my family $1200 a month out of pocket on the open market. In one year, that is $14,400.

How many of you had $14,400 in medical costs last year? May will have had less. Some will have had close to no cost. Now weight $14,400 against a $200 fine and ability to enroll in insurance at any point and start paying the $1200.

Ok- so, again, are you favoring stricter penalties? It IS a requirement, but it sounds like you don't think the penalty is sufficient.
