Telonephobics beware! For it is the Ides of April and the second
inevitability of life is upon us. But fear not if you lack health
insurance and cannot afford $95 or 1% of your income (whatever is higher)
since it is very easy to avoid paying the penalty tax:
#4. Get beaten by your wife. Required documentation:
None
Official text reads: "You recently experienced domestic violence.
Required documentation: None."
Translation: Get
attacked by your wife. You may then apply for the exemption by simply
stating “I am exempt because my wife beat me.” No documentation
required.

Avoid The Obamacare Tax Penalty, Including Being Beaten By Your
Wife
It doesn't surprise me that a 2,700 page bill that no Congresscritter
read and over 33,000 pages of regulations (wow! Something
longer than Atlas Shrugged) would
have egregious loopholes in it.
Really?
NO DOCUMENTATION?
Sheesh.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
