So if they pay out of pocket for preventative care and then pay the fine, how are they going to be less healthy?
Many republicans plan to just pay the fine

That is not what I said. Not even close. YOU CLAIMED THEY WERE POOR. I ASKED YOU TO BACK UP YOUR CLAIM.

Where Poor and Uninsured Americans Live
The 26 Republican-dominated states not participating in an expansion of Medicaid are home to a disproportionate share of the nation’s poorest uninsured residents. Eight million will be stranded without insurance

Show us the data that says the Reps not buying the insurance are poor. Those that ARE poor are the ones most likely to be signing up for the exchanges you fucking idiot.

The ACA Medicaid Expansion & the Coverage Gap
Effective January 2014, the ACA establishes a new minimum Medicaid eligibility level of 138% of poverty for non-disabled adults who were not previously eligible for the program. As with current Medicaid, legal immigrants who have been in the country for five years or less and immigrants who are not lawfully present are not eligible for this coverage. The federal government will finance the full cost of the Medicaid expansion for the first three years (2014-2016); after that, the federal government’s share of costs will phase down, reaching 90% in 2020. Nationally, 17 million currently uninsured nonelderly adults may meet the income and citizenship criteria to be eligible for Medicaid after the expansion.3 The number of eligible individuals varies by state, reflecting the income and age distribution in the state as well as the current scope of insurance coverage

That does not mean they are poor you idiot... it means that they are uninsured.

Do you think that young healthy people who are not poor may choose to NOT pay for health insurance because they would prefer to spend the money on other things?
You seem to think that if they are not poor, they must be wealthy. They could and likely are middle income.
Which is why you cannot provide any evidence that those choosing to pay the fine are poor.

Why do you keep asking this stupid question? NO ONE HAS SUGGESTED THAT THERE ARE NO POOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE INSURANCE. NO ONE.
YOU STATED THAT THE PEOPLE NO SIGNING UP FOR OBAMA CARE WERE POOR... YOU HAVE BEEN ASKED TO BACK THAT UP. BUT YOU CANNOT.
