Set up exchanges that don't work.
So much for only congress having the power to levy taxes.... Just call it a “user fee” and you’re good to go!
A poorly written article. One cannot determine who “we” or what “proposed rule” is specifically being discussed here.
In which every State hit with this premium should immediately Assess a 50% Payroll fee on ALL FEDERAL EMPLOYEES Living or Working in the State to pay for Unfunded Mandates and Liabilities.
Yet states that have set up a health care exchange are already predicting huge increases in the estimated costs within the first couple of years.
The heck with exchanges, states should start forming and training their own infantry regiments. A better return on investment.
All well and good, but a few little PROBLEMS remain for Big Brother: HHS has been given NO MONEY by congress to set up an exchange in any state which has refused to set up its own. So charging a fee is dandy, but where will the money LEGALLY come from to set up the fee charging exchange in the first place?
Secondly, states may sue the feds for trying to set up exchanges at all! The issue of the legality of running an ObamaCare exchange in an unwilling state is far from settled.
Did he even try to claim a legal justification for the fee, or he just pissed off about states passing this back to the federales so he can impose any fee he feels like?
Doesn’t the House have to pass tax laws? Obama should be challenged on this illegal tax.
Take it to court... do what the rats do... stop it by tying it up for years.
