Thank you so very much, Judge Johnny.
This should be worth taking back to the USSC....NOW that it’s NOT a tax! I should think they would have something to say when terms get changed AFTER the government got the decision they wanted. But that would be in our dreams - not in the real world.
Talked with a young guy of 29 the other day about ObamaCare. He said the only reason it was failing is because too many people weren’t participating in it.
Of course he’s covered at work. I told him he would feel very differently when the mandate finally hit his policy. He still didn’t get it.
“George Orwell” taught us that dictators and tyrants try to change the language to hide what they’re doing to us. For instance, “giving the sheep the shaft” becomes “providing the Champion Contributors a lubricant- free upper rectal massage”. (Result is the same but the sheep seem to enjoy it this way — they even ask for more like they did in 2012)
To me, the thing that leaps out from this Orwellian notification is that there is no “or else” clause. There is no mention at all as to what happens if someone refuses to pay. No mention of penalties. No mention of civil or criminal lawsuits. No mention of garnishment of property. And that because the obamacare law explicitly prohibits any of those, and the authors of obamacare constructed this penalty as a fine, not a tax.
If ‘children’ up to 26 CAN be in their parents’ plans, does that mean if they chose to not be, and to not purchase a policy, the parents can be forced to pay the FINE for them not being covered?
This is shaping up to be a worse mess than even I anticipated. God help the citizens of this great country.
I’m a serf. That’s what every single person who pays taxes to support people who do not.
In Imperial Russia, the serfs worked to pay taxes.
I am a serf, lower than a peasant.
It can’t be both. The current USSC ruling is that it is a tax and so that one small part of the bill is constitutional as a tax. The tax ruling does not validate the rest of it as constitutional. If it is not a tax then the forced contribution is unconstitutional.
Shove it up their asses you nadless “representatives”.
The more Obama's administration says, the further they sink.
Sounds effin communist to me
Obamacare “tax” on their 1040ez.
You can count on it Obamacare can’t make a dime no matter how many systems they rape.
Not really. It’s a tax because justice Roberts specifically agreed the whole concept was Constitutional because the “contribution” was actually tax, exactly as the Solicitor General argued.
I have a friend who told me that for a dependent child, there will be a need to ‘pay the penalty’ for 0bamacare in the taxes for the year.
Makes you a tad agitated.
Mmmmmmm......sounds like something Madoff said when he was screwing his investors.
Not to underestimate O/Care's unforgettable "we're going to aggregate the numbers" comment (WRT employers forced to downsize to escape onerous O/Care mandates).
O/Care "aggregating the numbers".....that gem is straight out of the Madoff Ponzi Playbook.
Whomever thought THIS up must have been VERY successful at pickin' up chicks; back in the day!
