The penalties for refusing to knuckle under to the Obama administration by purchasing a health care plan under the Obamacare exchange have begun — and they’re not pretty.

An Indiana resident named Benjamin Miller announced on his Facebook page that the Internal Revenue Service, the enforcement body of Obamacare, just saddled him with a whopping $2,344 penalty, something the IRS euphemistically calls a “shared responsibility payment.”

Miller wrote:

Thanks Obama for the fine for not having insurance
Because the the plan I had that was 398.00 a month for my family only increased to 1400.00 a month in 2014

So I chose not to pay 1400.00 a month
So got a nice little fine

Thanks for the affordable care act.
Thanks for making it so affordable!!

Pollster Frank Luntz tweeted Miller’s letter from the IRS:

Let the outrage begin:

Just saw a tax letter from the IRS penalizing someone for not having insurance – they called the tax a “shared responsibility” piece. WTF? — THE Foo (@PolitiBunny) October 15, 2015

@PolitiBunny It’s all part of this “collective” talk to avoid telling the truth. It’s a GD FINE! — Leigh (@sybilll) October 16, 2015

And will this be the end of it? Don’t count on it.

Then, there was this one.

@PolitiBunny @annepaezNOLA Question? What about illegals, will they get tax letter 2? — baileydog1 (@farmerami) October 16, 2015

And the answer to that one is, of course not. Illegals are special people, silly.
