So, one of the aspects of Obamacare that is not being talked about too much is the fines Obama will inflict on average, middle class Americans that don't want to join his nationalized healthcare service.
At this point, Obama favors a $1,000 fine to those of you that don't want any part of a nationalized system under his control. That's $1,000 of your hard earned money swiped away from you for not knuckling under to his dictats.
For an interesting exercise, I thought I'd check around the web to see what fines around the country would be for other things, things that are far more egregious of a violation of the law. Things like illegal drug possession, assault, or drunken driving.
I came up with some examples...

Only a thousand dollars? Wait for a year or so. Then it will be imprisonment!
FUBO
There has to be someway to stop this horrible dictator.
Don’t worry. The useful idiots around here will tell you you are a terrible person if you refuse to pay it. They’ll tell you things like “you’re stealing from us all” or ‘you’re a bad American, not paying your fines” or they’ll misquote Jesus and say He commanded you to do everything tyrants tell you to.
Screw the government. They are the problem. Anyone remember Jefferson?
He’d LIKE to jail you, but he’ll settle for fining you.......for now.
Yep...keep the heat on your elected representatives at ALL levels. Let them know where you stand and where you expect them to stand with you. And, encourage the eligibility hearings. This guy is a pretender and the truth must come out.
It’s time to take back the country.
What am I supposed to do? My senator is Christopher Dodd...
bump
Romney did the same thing -— he even bragged about it last week.
Zero is taking a page out of HillaryCare. Approximately 2/3s to 3/4s of HillaryCare were "the rules" that prohibited ANYONE from going outside of her "healthcare" program. Of course, she and her family were automatically excluded from her own coverage. It's ok for the peasants, but NOT the political elites!!
What is most fascinating about all of these socialist medicine scams is that all 300 million of us HAVE to have government healthcare because some 40+ million people DON'T have health INSURANCE!!!! Here is where the train jumps the track. Insurance is NOT a right. Out of the 40+ million uninsured number that zero loves to quote, how many VOLUNTARILY don't have health INSURANCE because they don't get sick?? When I was younger, I was one of those. It was a choice I made because I normally didn't get sick and what illnesses I did get could be easily treated by a Doc-in-the-Box!!
So, why do the majority have to get roped into his "universal healthcare" scam because a minority don't have health INSURANCE??? Why not just provide that minority that WANTS crappy government healthcare with a plan and leave the rest of us alone??? How many people don't have car INSURANCE??? Home INSURANCE??? Are those the next targets on the marxist's agenda????
I presume the naer-do-wells hanging around in housing projects are going to be paying $1K each as well...
That is the “choice” he said we’d Barry Soetoro said we’d all have. If you don’t want the government in your business it’s going to cost you. The dirty little secret is, given the intrusiveness, it will be well worth it.
Then- “If you want to build a Coal Fired power plant, go ahead, we will bankrupt you.”
Now- “If you want to keep your old doctor, go ahead, we will bankrupt you.”
Maybe I can trade silver or gold for health care SERVICES when and if I need them. I wonder if there will be an uprising of black markets in the USSA.
He closed more Republican auto dealers than Dem, too.
America is no more.
Please consider sending as an op-ed to your paper and PLEASE send it to Rush, or Sean or anyone who can being a national dialogue regarding your ideas.
Why are we being forced to insure so many who do NOT WANT TO buy health care insurance (for a variety of reasons).
Please do this...you have a really good post going there.
