This nation will have Universal Healthcare.It is the morally right thing to doGet used to it. Interesting that you invoked morals. That's quite funny.. Selective morality... HAHAHA a fair deal? what's fair about confiscating 40% of some people's hard earned income and using it to secure the political security of the democrat party? what's fair about laying some moral claim to 12 minutes out of every hour of the working men and women of the country to pay for entitlement programs? what's fair about laying the burden of the well being of the entire society on the backs of the producers? It's not about wanting or not wanting healthcare.. It's about standing up to a government that continues to lay claim to an ever increasing proportion to the labor and livelihood of some the American people to buy votes from the remainder.. get a grip, dude.. and take a look at the tax table that goes along with HB 3962.. it places a heavy tax burden on people making ~$50K/A and up.. (with zero subsidy, I might add, for the Federally mandated insurance policy everyone will be required to purchase, through and with the approval of the Fed.Gov..) Shouldn't the Obamatons in the crowd be upset about his breaking his oft-repeated campaign promise not to raise taxes on people making less than $250K/A?? |

PELOSI: Buy a $15,000 Policy or Go to Jail JCT Confirms Failure to Comply with Democrats’ Mandate Can Lead to 5 Years in Jail Friday, November 06, 2009 Today, Ranking Member of the House Ways and Means Committee Dave Camp (R-MI) released a letter from the non-partisan Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) confirming that the failure to comply with the individual mandate to buy health insurance contained in the Pelosi health care bill (H.R. 3962, as amended) could land people in jail. The JCT letter makes clear that Americans who do not maintain “acceptable health insurance coverage” and who choose not to pay the bill’s new individual mandate tax (generally 2.5% of income), are subject to numerous civil and criminal penalties, including criminal fines of up to $250,000 and imprisonment of up to five years. In response to the JCT letter, Camp said: “This is the ultimate example of the Democrats’ command-and-control style of governing – buy what we tell you or go to jail. It is outrageous and it should be stopped immediately.” Key excerpts from the JCT letter appear below: “H.R. 3962 provides that an individual (or a husband and wife in the case of a joint return) who does not, at any time during the taxable year, maintain acceptable health insurance coverage for himself or herself and each of his or her qualifying children is subject to an additional tax.” [page 1] - - - - - - - - - - “If the government determines that the taxpayer’s unpaid tax liability results from willful behavior, the following penalties could apply…” [page 2] - - - - - - - - - - “Criminal penalties Prosecution is authorized under the Code for a variety of offenses. Depending on the level of the noncompliance, the following penalties could apply to an individual: • Section 7203 – misdemeanor willful failure to pay is punishable by a fine of up to $25,000 and/or imprisonment of up to one year. • Section 7201 – felony willful evasion is punishable by a fine of up to $250,000 and/or imprisonment of up to five years.” [page 3] When confronted with this same issue during its consideration of a similar individual mandate tax, the Senate Finance Committee worked on a bipartisan basis to include language in its bill that shielded Americans from civil and criminal penalties. The Pelosi bill, however, contains no similar language protecting American citizens from civil and criminal tax penalties that could include a $250,000 fine and five years in jail. “The Senate Finance Committee had the good sense to eliminate the extreme penalty of incarceration. Speaker Pelosi’s decision to leave in the jail time provision is a threat to every family who cannot afford the $15,000 premium her plan creates. Fortunately, Republicans have an alternative that will lower health insurance costs without raising taxes or cutting Medicare,” said Camp. According to the Congressional Budget Office the lowest cost family non-group plan under the Speaker’s bill would cost $15,000 in 2016. ### http://republicans.waysandmeans.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=153583 This is not true. Verify it before you believe it because it is not valid information. |

Yet in order for Pelosi to get it passed she had to have a vote for an amendment to remove federal funding for abortion from the bill. |
