$1,900 came from the September 28 Wall Street Journal. However, the version of the Chairman’s mark dated September 22 (but posted on October 2) at the Senate Finance Committee’s website, reports a fine of $750 per adult as of 2017 (p. 35) – and confirms no jail-time for non-compliance with the mandate.
Obviously, this would accelerate the death spiral that I described previously, if the legislation substitutes this ineffective mandate for the current law’s requirement that an individual maintain continuous, creditable coverage.
