For routine checkups, I will pay in cash. For serious illnesses, I will make payment arrangements or seek private charity.

God bless you. This is such a bleeping nightmare.

Check out the Healthcare.gov Facebook page. Comments are running 100-1 against. I'm hopeful about the shutdown.

I think someone should sue them and force them to go through every printed or on-line reference and change every occurrence of “fee or penalty” to “tax” before they can continue to operate. If this was perpetuated by a commercial company, I can guarantee the FTC would be so far down their throats that they would be seeing light through the butt hole.

Making arrangements that include offshore treatment will be the cheaper option and of better quality than what is in prospect inside the US. The best of English and more and more of the Canadian is practiced in places like India and Thailand. Many good American doctors will set up shop in the Caribbean where a number of small countries have changed their tax laws to attract them. Combine that surgery with a stay in a nice hotel in the Caribbean sun with a cheaper overall price. International medical insurance is already available and will proliferate for the younger set.

The IRS confiscates it

Involuntary “euthanasia” is the logical and probably inevitable extension of obamacare. NSA files will be influential in that.

They will close loopholes faster than you can close your (open for confiscation) bank account. Bank on it. Period.

The obamacare law is full of exemptions spelled out as “As the HHS secretary shall determine”. This goes to actual health care and penalties. This law is designed to allow the HHS secretary to make up the law as they go.

All bets are off. You ask, is my property at risk? Can they drain my bank account? Can they throw me in jail?

Potentially yes to all and more because the law purposefully left these options open and vague.

“As the HHS secretary shall determine” gives them absolute power to rule as they see fit.

Glad to see Pelosi state that we had to pass it to see what was in it.

Damn politicians voted themselves dictatorial powers while their media ignored the reality of all this.

The feds will show up and put Barrycades around your house. Then they’ll reinforce the Barrycades with wire. Then they’ll post a guard. All in far in excess of the actual cost of the fee.

Just wait until you have to be drug tested in order to get your subsidy. And meet any number of other government mandated requirements.

a fee by any other name if imposed by any government state, county or feds is a TAX!

Just like a payroll tax is actually an income tax, which is why the mayor of Memphis who for years has been trying to get a payroll tax and even our liberal state supreme court shuts him down as Un Constitutional. :-)

You may not physically pay the fine, but the IRS will just take it out of your income tax!

Duke, the Obamacare tax will come out of your tax withholding first, followed by your federal taxes coming second. If there is not enough withholding to cover your taxes you will be sent a bill for the taxes still owed along with fines and penalties. That is why they did not need to included fines or penalties in the law. They skirted the negative press associated, because it is already built into the system. I am not an accountant but it seems clear.

Just because it’s in writing doesn’t mean they aren’t lying to your face.

I expect liens will be added next.
