The biggest problem with ObamaTax (now that it's rewritten as such by John Roberts - there was no "care" in ObamaCareMandate, either) is not that it would become a problem "once the crooks get their filthy hands on it" but that, besides the crooks who already have their hands in every Big Government "program/entitlement/service/stimulus" etc., the biggest crook/thief/embezzler/beneficiary would be the Big Government and entitled bureaucracy itself.
The crooks already know very well that the Big Government is the place where one should look for money because that's really where the Big Money is:
From Tampa, six other cities targeted in Medicare fraud busts - TBO (Tampa Bay Online), by Kelli Kennedy and Pete Yost, 2012 May 02
It was the latest in a string of major arrests in the past two years as authorities have targeted fraud that's believed to cost the government between $60 billion and $90 billion each year. Stopping Medicare's budget from hemorrhaging that money will be key to paying for President Barack Obama's health care overhaul. ..... < snip > ..... Today, hundreds of federal agents fanned out around the country, raiding businesses, seizing documents and charging 107 suspects in Miami, Los Angeles, Houston, Detroit, Chicago, Tampa, Fla., and Baton Rouge, La. The government suspended payment to 52 providers as part of the investigations. ..... < snip > ..... Among those arrested Wednesday were the owners of two community mental health centers in Baton Rouge, charged with billing $225 million in their scams. Hoor Naz Jafri and Roslyn Dogan allegedly recruited vulnerable patients, including elderly people, drug addicts and the mentally ill. Patient charts were doctored to show services that were billed to Medicare but often never given, according to an indictment. Authorities suspended their companies in May 2011, but the pair continued billing Medicare after purchasing another fraudulent company, according to the indictment. When feds shut down that company, the pair tried to sell their "beneficiaries" to other providers in an attempt to keep making money. ..... < snip > Federal authorities charged 107 doctors, nurses and social workers in Tampa and six other cities with Medicare fraud today in a nationwide crackdown on unrelated scams that allegedly billed the taxpayer-funded program of $452 million — the highest dollar amount in a single Medicare bust in U.S. history.
That's just one of many such Medicare and Medicaid frauds.
Of course, with so much more money and more Byzantine laws, mandates, rules and regulations under ObamaCareHealthInsuranceTaxMandate it would be even easier for crooks to "legally" make even more money (when nobody even knows if it's TAX or a MANDATE, the Feds and the defense lawyers would be able to treat it any way it suits them, to claim and/or decide the "guilt" or the "innocence" of the involved).
What a fine disgusting mess - politicians, government policy wonks, lawyers and bureaucrats' paradise!
