Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsDoes anybody know where the ACA penalty collected will go? I know the IRS will be
responsible for collecting and administering, but that's all I can find. I wonder if there's a special fund and if so will it be used for a particular purpose.
A facebook friend (R) just asked this question. Any help or direction is appreciated. Thank you.

(4,613 posts)if the IRS is involved, they can simply garnish your wages and put liens on your property until the amount is satisfied.

There is to be no garnishments or liens.

(18,661 posts)because the number of people who actually refuse to be covered will be so small.
The people now complaining about the mandate have no intention of dropping their health care insurance for any reason, and the few who do will likely be in need of expanded mental health coverage.
Who in their right mind would allow hospitals to step in and take their assets because of one heart attack? Those who have nothing will already be covered by the ACA.
