I need to warn you before you watch this video. What you are about to witness is an elected official tell a townhall that the new healthcare bill does not require that you carry health insurance.

Technically, she’s correct. You don’t have to carry health insurance......they’ll just penalize you if you don’t.

Obamascare "does not mandate that individuals buy health care." There are no penalties, say Rats. No fines.

It's just an assessment to compensate others -- or it simply puts those who do not purchase heath care insurance in another tax bracket.

You have free choice as always. It's called libertarian paternalism -- hey! that's not an oxymoron. It's just a nudge that's all, said Cass Sunstein Obama administration's regulatory czar.

Owning property is legal and protected.. it's also subject to assessments.

SO THAT'S HOW THE BASTARDS ARE GOING TO DO IT? THIS IS HOW THEY ARE GOING TO "NUDGE" US INTO TYRANNY?

State controlled American media (SCAM) Headlines?

Gun owners to pay "assessment"
Democrats: We did not violate the Second Amendment
"If you keep your guns you must compensate for the threat to others," say Congressman

Your home is your castle? Then you must pay "assessment"
Democrats: We did not violate the Fourth Amendment
"If you want that kind of privacy you must compensate for the threat to others," say Congressman

You still have rights to protest and free speech but you must pay "assessment"
Democrats: We did not violate the First Amendment
"But for your free speech you must compensate for any threat to others," say Congressman

. . . .

If we don't tar and feather them (def: criticize severely and devastatingly) they will czar and fetter us.

“Technically, she’s correct. You don’t have to carry health insurance......they’ll just penalize you if you don’t.”

By this logic, technically we don’t owe taxes, don’t have to drive under the speed limit and can freely ignore statutory prohibitions against murder, rape and incest. So long as we’re willing to pay the requisite penalties associated with these acts, we are as free as Robinson Crusoe!

Here is another healthcare fraud criminal case disposition that was investigated and brought to prosecution under the Bush administration.

Obama says he and his cronies will root out medical fraud under his socialist healthcare scheme. I doubt it. The majority of these healthcare fraudsters are Obama voters.

Detroit clinic owner sent to prison
Published: April 7, 2010 at 8:45 PM

DETROIT, April 7 (UPI) — A Detroit clinic owner was sentenced to 81 months in federal prison and ordered to help pay $9.77 million in restitution for Medicare fraud, authorities said.

The U.S. Justice Department said in a release Suresh Chand, 46, of Warren, Mich., is to serve three years of supervised release following his prison term.

Chand had pleaded guilty in September to one count of conspiracy to commit healthcare fraud and one count of conspiracy to launder money.

Federal authorities said that from about January 2003 to March 2007, Chand — who owned Continental Rehab Services Inc. — and co-conspirators submitted claims to the Medicare program totaling more than $18 million for physical and occupational therapy services that were not provided. Medicare paid about $8.5 million on those claims.

One co-conspirator, Dr. Jose Castro-Ramirez, was found guilty March 10 of conspiracy to commit healthcare fraud, healthcare fraud and money laundering for his role in the conspiracy. His sentencing is set for June 29.

RE: may have to borrow it

Please do! and no need to mention WoC. I think it 'splains a lot of what we are in for -- unless the Tea Party Patriots, et al. can stop the 1960s Marxist-Alinsky campus/street revolutionary rabble and their ideological issue (arguably the Establishment).
