Yes, we all heard that. The chief autocratic kritocrat that all the GOP-e was trying to convince us was “conservative-leaning”. The same guy who would not insist on Obama retaking the oath of office in public, interestingly enough.

Just another Obama tax on the Middle Class, nothing more nor less.

Everyone refuse to pay the fine and your taxes and put the IRS out of a job...I’ve about had enough of this administration’s $hit. It’s as though they are trying to pick at The American People trying every hour of the day to provoke them to finally snap so they can declare martial law. BTW there have been reports by credible sources of signs with Martial Law and This Area Declared Under Martial Law from credible sources lately that are not rumors. A trooper in Colorado pulled a truck with Mexican plates over and saw a very large number of signs going to a warehouse in Chicago and another batch numbering in the thousands was observed in a truck in Wisconsin. Tell me something isn’t up.

Then eventually they'll make every American a felon and send SWAT to clear your house of firearms.
Why do you think all Fed DEPTs now have ammo and training? It's there just waiting to
hit the desk and be signed.

I had to purchase temporary insurance since my employer does not offer a group health plan and my enrollment did not fall within an open enrollment period.

My insurance broker told me that the policies available as temporary care do not meet Obamacare’s minimum qualifications and I am going to be ‘taxed’ anyway even though I have health insurance.

Lucky me.

close your bank accounts, increase dependents to lower withheld amounts,and don’t pay it.

second way is if you’re a christian, to drop insurance altogether and go into one of three health-sharing ministries recognized by obamacare and be covered that way.

“five or more members can be fined up to $12,240.”

Wait till this hits them right where they live. I’m going to laugh my ass off.

Obama is trying to push the American people hard enough to cause a reaction.
He's doing a damn good job but I don't think it's going to turn out like he's planning.

Huh? I thought it was a ‘fine’ first off. Then of course I learned it was a ‘tax’.

Thought it was $95.00 the first year and went up from there each year.

Screw ‘em. I will NEVER EVER EVER be forced to buy barrycare and the $2500.00 tax thing? Pfft - yea sure

Obama doesn’t care about the average American.

Marxists never do!

If the premiums for a silver plan (memory getting a little hazy) would be more than about 8.5% of gross adjusted income, the penalty/fee is waived.

Interesting. I hope it waits 8 months so I can escape Mexifornia. The people here will just cave. Where I’m going, they’ll fight back.

No he doesn’t, and neither do liberal Democrat hypocrites or the GOPe.

Meanwhile, Boehner says Obamacare is “the law of the land” rather than fight this POS legislation 24/7. The GOP is dead. They can’t even wage a logical, factual, effective debate on policy when the opponent is dead.

Does anyone know where Boehner stands on Obamacare?
