That’s the plan.
Effective Jan 1, 2013, aspirin will be taxed under the Obama-Care program.
The explanation was that they are white and they work.
No other reason was given.
Gee, thanks to Obama, when I die again (cardiac arrest 8/2009), his Health Czars can rip my Defibrilator/Pacemaker out of my chest and resell it because, with the new tax, it will be worth between $300-$700 more.
Maybe they’ll also take out the gold in my teeth. Why not? People like them did it to my relatives whom they killed in Belzec and Auschwitz concentration camps.
Nothing has changed except the symbol.
What this tax WILL do, is to SUPPRESS the use of and application of these devices and procedures. Therefore, the distribution of these devices will be greatly curtailed, the expected revenue will fall far short, and any future innovation will not be undertaken, as the costs are too great for recovery on investment.
We shall be back to the application of rubbing alcohol and hydrogen peroxide. Aspirin and Tylenol will be outlawed, can’t be using these NSAID’s, you know. Too many complications.
And maybe we shall come to rely on acupuncture or hex-doctor chants as approved therapy.
This is just more of the effort to destroy the culture “that has had it too good for too long”.
Obama isn’t trying to “fix” anything!
He seeks to destroy us!
He is not ignorant, he is evil!
The global ruling elite to whom Ubama reports believe that there are too many human beings on the planet who are not related to them.
Do the math.
What's this "could" crap!?
What kind of taxes are on medical equipment now?
Could?
America is now CURSED with death panels
except Moslems and Congress.
Happy Thanksgiving to THEM.
Medical devices will be cleaned (kind of ) and reused and reused and reused
Last spring I underwent both a hip replacement and a sleep study. I wonder if the tax applies to replacement masks for cpap machines?
Obama Admin would recommend you replace the mask with a plastic bag ,oh wait plastic bags are hard to get
A more effective title would be: Taxing the sick.
I don’t know the details of the current tax system of that industry, however I’ve never read complaints in news articles posted of the existing taxation contrary to that which will become effective with the forthcoming PPACA law.
This article outlines only a few of the new taxes on medical devices in the new law. Perhaps only because so many of the other taxes are shared by many industries.
Don’t forget about the BIG one coming soon, and I don’t mean the end of the Bush era tax cuts, but the VAT the Democrats are also working on. THAT will come along soon enough.
My son’s insulin pump is also affected. There are thousands of children with this disease that rely on this pump to keep them alive all day, every day.
Obama doesn’t care.
Take good care of your son. Screw Obama.
However, you have just created the greatest description of Obamacare in one word, “OBAMADOESNTCARE”
Spread the word. I will.
