FACT CHECK: Coverage requirement enforced with tax
Obama insisted this weekend on national television that requiring people to carry health insurance – and fining them if they don’t – isn’t the same thing as a tax increase. But the language of Democratic bills to revamp the nation’s health care system doesn’t quibble. Both the House bill and the Senate Finance Committee proposal clearly state that the fines would be a tax.
Gee, I think anyone not drinking the Kool-Aid knew this was a lie when he said it… then again if his lips are moving he’s lying.
And the reason the fines are in the legislation is to enforce the coverage requirement.
“If you put something in the Internal Revenue Code, and you tell the IRS to collect it, I think that’s a tax,” said Clint Stretch, head of the tax policy group for Deloitte, a major accounting firm. “If you don’t pay, the person who’s going to come and get it is going to be from the IRS.”
Perhaps we take some of that stimulus money and buy Obama a Merriam-Webster dictionary so he can brush up on the English language.
Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform says…
“This is exactly what George Bush Sr. did when he said he wouldn’t raise taxes, and it cost him the next election,” said Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform. “Obama is doing the same thing, but he’s insulting people by telling them that if you don’t call it a big purple banana, somehow it wouldn’t be a tax.”
How much of a TAX is Obama going to put on you…
But a Democratic staff description of Sen. Max Baucus’ bill calls the proposed fines an “excise tax.” Penalties of up to $950 for individuals and $3,800 for families would be imposed on those who don’t get coverage. Sen. Kent Conrad, D-N.D., said Monday he expects the family penalty to be slashed in half to $1,900.
But it gets fuzzier…
The House bill uses a complex formula to calculate the penalties, calling them a “tax on individuals without acceptable health care coverage.”
What’s acceptable health care coverage? Guess you’ll only know that answer when you get a fine or not.
I seriously do not know what’s wrong with this country, this is not America. This is turning into some 3rd world Despot where we have a man-child running around whining every time some one say something mean about him that he thinks he can punish them for their opinion. Obama spends most of his time either running America down and finding a away to destroy it, something needs to be done to remove his clown from office while we still have a country left and for all you leftist nut-balls out there that think Fascism is cool then move to a country where they embrace it… because America is not the place.
