Digital News Report Besides collecting taxes and going after tax cheats, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will be going after Americans who do not purchase private health insurance.
The new health care legislation being debated in Congress will put the IRS in charge of making sure Americans purchase a health insurance policy. Those who dont pay will be penalized because all Americans will be forced to purchase a policy.
Besides making sure citizens do buy insurance, the IRS will assess penalties on those who do not. They will also collect new fees from businesses and oversee enforcement.
Already understaffed and overburdened, the IRS will need more agents. The CBO estimates that the extra cost would be $5 to $10 billion over the first 10 years. So far, neither bill in the House or the Senate includes any funding this.
Good God that makes perfect sense in what may be soon our world....I don't know what else to say...
I think everyone has it wrong here....isn't it LEVYING fines?
...or maybe I haven't had enough coffee
My money says that the section allowing the government to withdraw funds from our bank accounts via waire transfers is still a part of the bill. As well as the micro-chip implant with our medical data and buying and selling information.
Only 575 laws? Weren’t there something on the order of over 40,000 that went in to effect Jan 1?
Oh yeah! It’s not only business and industry thinking this thing thru...the average joe citizen is looking really close at options to keep as much of his earnings as possible. The only ones who will be making out like bandits are those on all the gov. programs....as usual.
It’s a two fold situation....how do you stand up to this healthcare theft without going to jail....
...as for the mark of the beast..can’t buy or sell anything without it so basically you hide out with others of like minds when that day comes, likely not til world governance is set up...
...but I do wonder if the US will be for the most part isolated from all that will be going on then, (in Europe,)....they may weaken our nation economically but we do indeed have a people who will stand if another nation or group of nations attempts to rule us. Hummm Interesting times...prophetically the US is not mentioned.
Read my lips. “ Bill of Attainder”
Article I , US Constitution.
LOL! You are correct. When I was typing it I knew it was wrong, but was having a brain fart and could not think how to spell it.
This will water down the IRS’s power to collect taxes. Bad move...
good post.
