A Tax By Any Other Name: Obama Fudges Health Care Tax to George Stephanopoulus

[dboom101]

You republican fucks are just ignorant, asking "how did he get elected" how can you even say that shit when we had a retard in office for two terms.

[ApologiaTV]

even the NYT has an article out today "Changing Stance, Administration Now Defends Insurance Mandate as a Tax"

The government takes half my pay. If I can live on 50% of my income, I damn well expect the government to be able to live on the other 50%.

> It's worse than just taxes.

> Google: online wsj Mandatory Insurance Is Unconstitutional

> We've got Government Gone Wild -- WE CAN STOP IT!

if you get hit by a bus, and you don't have health insurance...is obama saying the hospital isn't going to send you a bill? Is he assuming people just plain don't pay hospital bills if they don't have health insurance??? sounds like some weird logic..hmm

[JustMightBeGod]

This is hard for me to say...Thank you Stephanopoulus... Next time will you trick Obama into the studio and let George Will interview Obama? Then again, Obama arguing with a dictionary on your show, can't look good for him, so maybe it was your last interview with him...

Doesn't the President and his family get

free healthcare while they are in office ?

[billrah]

Excise Tax. The consequence for not maintaining insurance would be an excise tax. If a taxpayers MAGI is between 100-300 percent of FPL, the excise tax for failing to obtain coverage for an individual in a taxpayer unit (either as a taxpayer or an individual claimed as a dependent) is $750 per year. However, the maximum penalty for the taxpayer unit is $1,500.

Barak Obama POTUS seldom says anything definitive about anything.

He always couches his words with ifs, ands, and buts.

He constantly changes positions, and claims people aren't listening? to

him.

That's because he takes so many sides it is hard to pin him down to any

real commitments.

He has done this most of his life, the most outstanding example is

attending a church for 20 years yet claiming he had no knowledge of

some of the pastors preachings. .

[DrKnow417]

This is really incredible. Here you have the president of the united states saying that looking up a definition of a word in the dictionary is a "stretch". REALLY? You can tell he's lying...listen to that condescending laugh as George reads the definition. WAKE UP AMERICA.

[john51880]

"you can't just make up that language?" Obama makes up crap all the time! Twists words and makes bold verbal leaps"Teachable moment"? Obama called the bill of rights a "Bill of negitive rights" because it limits government power. Sounds like the pot calling the kettle black to me!

[agudino1]

YOU LIE!

[yahazif]

Obama is so arrogant that he doesnt realize what a mistake he has just made. Its obvious that he is lying but what is also obvious is that he has just insulted George Stephanopoulos. What Obama is too stupid to realize is that he needs Stephanopoulos a lot more than Stephanopoulos needs him. Obama takes the MSM for granted. But from Stephanopoulos's expressions you can tell that he is offended. Obama is a prideful idiot and this not the last time he will be interviewed by Stephanopoulos...

lol indeed

[thecomicsitedotcom]

Don't want auto insurance don't buy a car. Don't want home owner insurance don't buy a home. You have a choice. Don't want health insurance don't buy a body? What exactly is free about that? This is a body tax, or breathing tax.

A story:

I know someone that has smoked all his life up to 3 packs per day, obese, knees gone , he's taking so many prescriptions that I can't even keep up.

Got a blood infection , was in a Coma for 7 days , came out of the coma and was in the hospital for 1 month.

- cost to taxpayers estimate 200,000 dollars

He's covered but talk about tough he could live to be a 100.

Costs of healthcare , people need to get realistic on costs and care. Its like fiat money it will end suddenly.
