It's true, 80% of those paying the penalty earn less than $50k.

"Nearly 80 percent of those who paid the fee in 2015 earned less than $50,000."
e.g. https://www.bostonglobe.com/opinion/2017/11/25/obamacare-individual-mandate-tax-working-poor/LLog96t6im6s71auC4smKK/story.html

The subsidies taper off pretty rapidly.  A healthy individual (lots of young
people, for example) wouldn't have much trouble choosing between $5k in
almost useless Obamajunk "insurance" with a giant deductible, and the
much-cheaper freedom tax.

Cheers,
James Arthur
