Penalty… tax… how about assessment?….would you prefer duty?…. no, how about fine, cost, excise, levy, tariff, charge, toll? Yadda,yadda, yadda, and on and on. And by the way, I say tomato, you say tomoto. Blah, blah, blah. Folks, who cares? Its the cost of providing an important service. There is no free ride! There’s a country to run! Get out of the sand box!
Massachusetts favored it. It is one relatively tiny state in the USA so whats the point?.62% of the USA hated it even before it was discovered to be a TAX, while 68% hated the universal mandate provision even before it was discovered to be a TAX . . . .!!!
I did some checking – it turns out that under Massachusetts law this was actually a fine, as opposed to tax..But than again, the Massachusetts constitution allows government compulsion . . . . who knew.
Once all the costs are factored in (which were hidden by Dumbo), and health care costs rise up substantially more than it would have without ACA, and actual health care declines taxes will skyrocket to cover this monstrosity. It will be a mountain of problems that the gov’t will have to come back in and rescue us again (to get more power). Open your eyes and look at the big picture instead of what is being spoon fed you now by the administration.
Hopefully, Obama will be long long gone from office when all the taxes kick in a few years from now. He’s now out there touting how this bill that “he” passed is here to stay. What an egomaniacal, powerhungry, elitist who only cares about his legacy.

Steve, the words are right but Mitt never lets his hair look like that or smiles like that.

Truth hurts, doesn’t it? Hard for the GOP to fight this reality.

The people in Mass. have had some years of experience under RomneyCare. How do they like the law?

What others spend on haircuts, Mitt spends on hair gel. Too bad there’s nothing under the gel.

All I can say is thank you President Obama for bringing us closer to our right to free universal healthcare!
