It is a tax and the president, our "constitutional expert", lied to the American people over and over and over.
Need to toss them all out, toss out this bad law and put in some common sense

The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) declared President Barack Obama's health care legislation a "tax" -- despite Obama repeatedly saying the opposite.
President Obama argued with George Stephanopoulos on ABC News. I've taken some excerpts to show the salient points and included the video of the heated exchange at the bottom. Remember... Stephanopoulos worked in the Clinton White House when Hillary Clinton tried to pass the same federal takeover of healthcare.
STEPHANOPOULOS: … during the campaign. Under this mandate, the government is forcing people to spend money, fining you if you don't. How is that not a tax?
OBAMA: Well, hold on a second, George. [Obama continues to ramble about why he wants the legislation, but denies calling ACA a tax].
STEPHANOPOULOS: That may be, but it's still a tax increase.
OBAMA: No. That's not true, George....[more rambling]... No, but—but, George, you—you can't just make up that language and decide that that's called a tax increase. Any …
STEPHANOPOULOS: I—I don't think I'm making it up. Merriam Webster's dictionary: Tax—"a charge, usually of money, imposed by authority on persons or property for public purposes."
STEPHANOPOULOS: But you reject that it's a tax increase?
OBAMA: I absolutely reject that notion.

With or without Obamacare the cost is going to go up. That is why we need medicare for all.
With or without Obamacare it will cost to much to train doctors. That is why we need to cut the cost of education for students.
Name me one major insurance company that doesn't sell insurance in at least 45 states with a home office in just one? We already have interstate sales.
A number of states have enacted Tort reform. Which one of these saw costs go down?
Health savings accounts only work if you have money to save. How much could you save per year?
Obamacare isn't great but it is better then what we had before. Medicare for all would be better.
The cost would not have gone up had the Democrats not locked Republicans out of the conference with Big Pharma.
The cost would not have gone up if portability was allowed to create real competition for rates.
The cost would not have gone up if the focus had been on the uninsured only rather than an overreach to implement redistribution of wealth through surreptitious means.
If you think the IRS won't go into your bank account and suddenly think you can pay more, then you are wrong.
Name me a state that enacted tort reform and saw prices stay stable or go down.
Portability and guaranteed insurability are about the same thing. The problem is that most people get a large part of their health taxes (premiums) indirectly paid by their employer. When that goes away they see the real cost. Since about year 2000 business has been getting out of giving health insurance as a benefit. I expect that to continue. Business can not afford that benefit anymore.
Yes Obama bought of big pharma. I don't think the Republicans were that upset about that.
Medicaid is the focus on the uninsured the states don't like that. The mandate is a focus on the uninsured. The young don't like that.
it shouldn't exist!
THAT is the point that needs to be driven home .... that once again, the BIG LIE is all the usurper knows.
And no they do not release cyanide on command, that part was hilarious! I can't believe anyone is stupid enough to believe it let alone post it here for everyone to see.

There are a whole bunch of taxes in the ACA, but also a lot of relief for those purchasing coverage, including the poor and businesses, especially small business. This is as it should be.

Because of the new law, passed in 2010, you cannot be refused insurance coverage or charged more for having a "pre existing condition", so if you wish to be insured you can. Be sure to inquire of the minimal coverage offered under the Federal program, which is much better than none and would prevent you being charged a penalty in 2014 for refusing to take care of this important responsibility.
France, England, Canada, Australia, Germany, and a host of other countries do it that way - a giant insurance program in which everyone must enroll and pay a share. When that is suggested here, the wails from the insurance companies, hospital corporations, nursing home operators, pharmaceutical manufacturers, drug retail chains, all those whose aggregate profits from the existing system total well beyond $3Trillion each year, they all spend $Billions to advertise and lobby that such things "won't work", and are "socialist" and (besides) they couldn't give their CEOs any more multi $Million bonuses every year if such were adopted. Just brings tears to your eyes, doesn't it?
Nothing wakes you up faster than cool bucket of water in the face. I’m willing to bet that when the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States of America votes on 6th November 2012 that it won’t be for President Obama.
