Obama mocks GOP for ‘crazy’ Obamacare predictions

With just five days to go before Americans can begin signing up for health care under his signature law, President Barack Obama on Thursday ridiculed Republican opponents for “crazy” doomsday predictions of the impact and forecast that even those who didn’t vote for him are going to enroll.

With polls showing many Americans still skeptical of the law known as “Obamacare,” the president went back to the basics of explaining how nearly 50 million uninsured Americans will be able to buy coverage in new government-run exchanges while mocking Republicans for trying to block its implementation. “The closer we get, the more desperate they get,” Obama argued. …

Then that has changed since I did it. Actually, I didn’t claim 12. I claimed however many it took so that I would always owe a little come April 15th. But, apparently I couldn’t do that today. Thanks for the correction.

I just looked at several places online about the fine. The IRS will be the agency that collects the fines but will not be able to put liens on your property or come knock on your door. It’s only recourse is to keep your refund. The articles I read say the IRS will have access to your employment to see if you have insurance but it does not say they can garnish your wages.

Than again, the medicare website says nothing will change. In fact, under the ACA everything is going to be wonderul. Then I go to private articles that say premiums will increase, co-pays will increase and costs will increase. So, like everything else, I guess we’ll have to sign up to see what’s in it.

“The IRS will be the agency that collects the fines but will not be able to put liens on your property or come knock on your door. It’s only recourse is to keep your refund.”

For now, but we all know that laws are not static, so it will change.

Ever notice how the Kenyan makes all of his “great speeches” at DNC programming institutions like Prince George’s Community College? The wildly applausing, “young skulls full of mush” that he always speaks to are either living in the dorm or their parents’ basements. They don’t have to pay taxes and are on their parents’ healthcare plans until they are 26. I’d love to see the lowlife scumbag just once come down here where the rubber meets the road and try making one of his “great” speeches to the American taxpayers. He wouldn’t be getting all of those photo op applauses.

That’s possibly a part of it. But the bigger factor is that a relatively rural red state like Tennessee has more makers than takers. And makers in general are expected to pony up more to subsidize the takers.

A “legislator” who votes to pass a 1200 page law without having read it is crazy, and stupid, and irresponsible.
