Maybe they realize that if they tell the truth to the American people, they’ll be fired.

There will be a lot of “I told you sos” when this thing kicks in.

Not that it will mean much because it will be too late to do anything about it. We will be stuck.

Garnishment of future wages???

WOW -- Do you realize how easy that would make recruiting for an active resistance movement?

I do not think that this is correct. As a seasonal paid tax preparer, we are seeing guidance that taxpayers, lacking proof of coverage, will have the penalty added to their 'tax burden' like early withdrawls from a TIRA and the 'SE' tax. So the computation of penalty will be done in the tax season of 2015 for failure to carry insurance in all of 2014 regardless of refund or balance due status.

It would not surprise me if the IRS tries to collect it like other taxes because they routinely ignore laws passed by Congress. But according to ACA, they cannot put a lien on you or take any criminal action against you for the ACA penalty. They can only get it from a refund due to you. What the IRS often does is what they want until someone actually sues them to change their behavior.

Another example of the ignoring ACA is that for states not implementing the exchanges and forcing the Feds to do it for them, the subsidies provided for those with lower incomes are not allowed - it is only allowed for the states the implement the exchanges. The IRS, however, is going to allow the subsidies in these cases as well until they are sued and told they cannot.

Dead wrong.

Obama is in the pockets of the insurance companies just like all the presidents before him. No one in power wants the insurance companies out. They are on the same team.

If we could get the insurance companies out our lives would be far better.

Hospitals have been getting worse for many years. Used to be if you went in you got proper care from RNs and were able to stay there until you got better. Now, RNs have been replaced by people with no medical training, unless you count emptying bedpans. This is so insurance companies and hospitals can be more profitable.

Obama is a horror show, but the healthcare system in America collapsed years before any of us knew Obama’s name.

My employer informed me this week, that the health insurance (no dental, vision or life)prememiuns for my husband and me will go up 40% from $2000.00 to $2800.00 per MONTH starting in April.

True. It will adversely affect all of us. But the evil side of me will derive some perverse pleasure from watching the true believers when they realize the idol they worship so fervently lied to them.
