  • Now, if you refuse to pay your taxes, the government will fine you in the same way that it does whenever you refuse to pay your taxes. Prison is also a possibility for the most determined tax cheats, although generally speaking prison terms are reserved for the most egregious violations of the tax laws.

  • "if you don't purchase h. insur. you will go to jail."

    This is false.

    Section 501 of the House bill imposes a tax of 2.5% of adjusted gross income. You're exempted if you already have h. insur. from employer, if you receive Medicare or Medicaid, are a dependent, are overseas, or have religions objections. You also get tax credits & deductions if you're low income: If you're not exempted, and don't purchase h. insur. you just pay a higher tax. You don't go to jail.

  • He wants more choices but didn't want Americans to have the choice of a public option.
