The tax man cometh to police you on health care

The Supreme Court's decision to uphold most of President Barack Obama's health care law will come home to roost for most taxpayers in about 2½ years, when they'll have to start providing proof on their tax returns that they have health insurance.

That scenario puts the Internal Revenue Service at the center of the debate, renewing questions about whether the agency is capable of policing the health care decisions of millions of people in the United States while also collecting the taxes needed to run the federal government.

Under the law, the IRS will provide tax breaks and incentives to help pay for health insurance and impose penalties on some people who don't buy coverage and on some businesses that don't offer it to employees.

The changes will require new regulations, forms and publications, new computer programs and a big new outreach program to explain it all to taxpayers and tax professionals. Businesses that don't claim an exemption will have to prove they offer health insurance to employees.

Democrats love the 13,000 new government regulations of Obamacare, the IRS policing us, the government choosing our doctor, and just being slaves of the government.

Democrat Obama’s record:Let in 4 million foreign immigrants.
Zero jobs created.5 trillion $ added in debt on every one of us.
Gave amnesty to illegals by decree against the will of Congress.
Sent our jobs, technology and factories to China.
With Obama care took away our freedom to choose doctors and added 13,000 pages of new government regulations to further burden businesses and to take away our freedom.
And yes rank and file democrats actually believe that the people who run the dept of motor vehicles are better suited to give us the cutting edge technologies and treatments to save our lives. democrats love being slaves.
Obama has done a million more Crimes against America and freedom that I don't have room to post there.

(There was) The television networks and movie industry, which concerned themselves with news, entertainment, education, and the fine arts. The Defense department, which concerned itself with war. The Ministry of Homeland Security, which maintained law and order. And the Ministry of Quantitative Easing, which was responsible for economic affairs. Their names, in Newspeak: Minitrue, Minidef, Minihome, and Minique. The Ministry of Homeland Security, and particularly the Internal Revenue Service, was the really frightening one. There were no windows in it at all. Winston had never been inside the IRS, nor within half a kilometre of it. It was a place impossible to enter except on official business, and then only by penetrating through a maze of barbed-wire entanglements, steel doors, and hidden machine-gun nests. Even the streets leading up to its outer barriers were roamed by gorilla-faced guards in black uniforms, armed with jointed truncheons.

I thought that’s why Obama was hiring thousands of new IRS people.

Wait until these old folks start selling their homes and the first 3.8% of the sale money goes to the Government.
And that aint a tax?

Thanks Roberts. Tell us again how you arent there to protect us.

Start spreading the rumor the libs will have to take drug tests to get their “free” healthcare.........

[Libloather]

they'll have to start providing proof on their tax returns that they have health insurance.

That pretty much prohibits illegals - no?

[Radagast the Fool]

Here in MA, under Romneycare, we already have to list on our State tax returns what we have for health insurance, and if the policy doesn’t meet “State standards”,i.e., the policy isn’t a “comprehensive” Plan, the State will seize any refund you might have coming to you.
Also, if your policy covers “catastrophic” events only, the local hospital WILL accept payment from the insurance company, but at the same time, the State will penalize you for having a Plan that isn’t “acceptable”-even though this type of Plan can still be purchased in the State.
So go figure.

So if illegals aren't forced to comply with the mandate and aren't forced to purchase health ins. what's to stop them from doing what they are doing now; I.e. running up ER and hospital bills and not paying?

Answer: Nothing.

The law exempts illegal aliens from paying the tax - no kidding.

"Most people pay because they're scared, and I don't think that's going to change," Maresca said.

careful what ya wish for babe...

if being 'scared' is the benchmark for the relationship between the citizenry and gubmint, itll cut both ways eventually...

“The Beatles - Taxman”

“Let me tell you how it will be
There’s one for you, nineteen for me
‘Cause I’m the taxman, yeah, I’m the taxman”

“Should five per cent appear too small
Be thankful I don’t take it all
‘Cause I’m the taxman, yeah I’m the taxman”

“If you drive a car, I’ll tax the street,
If you try to sit, I’ll tax your seat.
If you get too cold I’ll tax the heat,
If you take a walk, I’ll tax your feet.”

“Don’t ask me what I want it for
If you don’t want to pay some more
‘Cause I’m the taxman, yeah, I’m the taxman”

“Now my advice for those who die
Declare the pennies on your eyes
‘Cause I’m the taxman, yeah, I’m the taxman
And you’re working for no one but me.”

The Supreme Court's decision to uphold most of President Barack Obama's health care law...

Compromised robed clown jesters can also rule free speech no longer exists, makes no difference to Americans who's inherent rights are granted by our Creater and declared in the Constitution. Re-writing law and declaring mandates to force compliance is treason. The robed court jesters have defied their oaths and now face judgement. You will be ignored, ridiculed, and resisted til the death. No penalty will be paid by my household to any fascist organ, and the butcher's bill for those supporting tyranny will be high. Tudulu
