ALL Americans will be hit with the Individual Mandate Tax which will require a couple to pay the higher of a base tax of $1,360 per year, or 2.5% of adjusted growth income starting with lower base tax and rising to this level by 2016. Individuals will see a base tax of $695 and families a base tax of $2,085 per year by 2016.

Depends on one’s point of view. 2.5% is nominal individual.
2.5% is no where near the largest nominal individual tax increase in US history either.

Not to get too far into arguing over how many angels can fit on the head of a needle....
