We have done a 180 from G. Washington who could not tell a lie. To B. Obama who can not tell the truth.

Did any of the talking heads in the state-run media have the onions to “call him out” on the fact that he has no plan, and the framework he insists on continually retching up for Americans to lap up like a gourmet meal is full of prevarication? (I love mixed metaphors!)

How soon til we get ratings and new polls based on the Sunday Bambi-thon? Tomorrow? ‘Cause I predict this will be a bigger flop than the Leno show.

IF the Kenyan was really concerned with people having healthcare, the why in God's name do TAXES - in any form - have to be tied to, or associated with a Healthcare bill?

WHY should the IRS be involved in HEALTHCARE, at all?

OBAMA...YOU LIE

[9YearLurker]

Okay, let’s just start calling OBama’s halfway-to-single-payer plan what it is: Fascistic Medicine.

Make your own bumper sticker!

He called your health insurance premium a tax too.

There is some truth to this, but its a state tax based on state mandates and he wants to make it an our-right direct federal tax but call it insurance

[muawiyah]

The Obamista lawyers have been looking at the case law regarding postage ~ it's not a "tax" but a fee for a service.

At the same time NO ONE is required to use the mails.

I strongly suspect no one in that faction have bothered thinking about it. Kind of like the punitive tax on diabetics ol'greaseball Baucus has in mind.

Would someone please explain to me how this “plan” is any different from the failed one that Romney instituted in Mass.?

PBO says people are required to get auto insurance. So why is it recommended or even required to buy uninsured insurance for when you have an accident with someone who doesn’t have insurance.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

They can’t fine us all - I will not sign up for any gov’t run healthcare plan. If I get fined and jailed, so be it.

[TurtleUp]

I don’t care if obama wants to call it a bouquet of flowers. It’s an increase in the amount of our money that the liar in our White House takes from us against our will. That’s a tax by any name. Sorry, socialist, but: YOU LIE!

[Pearls Before Swine]

I have a modest proposal:

Let people go without insurance, but if they need uninsured care, they owe the government/IRS their back premiums with interest and some mild penalty. If you decide to go it alone, you don’t have to pay. If you get sick and pay the costs yourself, you don’t owe the government a thing.

To address price distortions in the medical market, no individual shall be charged more than some modest premium (25% — open to debate) than a big quantity buyer, like the government or a group insurance company.

If you are illegal, the Federal government bills your home country for your emergency care and ships you home.

That would be freedom of choice, it addresses the deadbeat/illegal issue, and it addresses price distortions.
