Saw an interesting comment at another blog I frequent:
"Did [my taxes] early, with TurboTax. If I explained why, you would definitely not suspect I was some kind of overachiever. I was expecting a bunch of paperwork to prove I had health insurance, but all there was was some sort of affirmation and no further hassle.
Which tells me that the stats about who has health insurance and who does not will be lies."
And then I thought back to ours, and remembered I was surprised that no documentation was required (nor was there any indication that it could be attached).
I'm mildly disappointed in myself for failing to make the connection the commenter did.
But it's spot on, no?
