That’s where the money is. All the talk about soaking the rich is just for public consumption. I’m waiting for the govt to seize retirement funds.

Communists always try to destroy the middle class.

The costs would be largely paid by taxing insurance companies
.........................................................
And then the insurance companies pass the tax increase on to it’s customers.

THATs what happens dipstick. Somebody tell the idiot that Companies do not pay taxes, WE DO.

This numbnuts in the White House has no iodea how the system works.

The taxes on health insurance companies will add to the cost of health insurance and be passed on to the insured - us. The taxes on hospitals will add to the cost of health insurance and be passed on to the insured - us. The taxes on medical devices will add to the cost of health insurance and be passed on to the insured - us. There is a pattern here, one that liberals are unwilling to understand - or too stupid to understand. The middle class will not just pay more, they will pay almost the entire bill for covering the poor, illegals, and all the new “free” coverages of ObamaCare - and those who understand economics know what happens to demand when price goes to zero.

This was the objective all along... dress it all up as an “equality” measure, then run the dagger into the back of the middle class.

The smidgen of silver lining I see is chiding liberals who are starting to whine about unforeseen changes (read: degradation) of their health care plans. I actually delight in reminding them the REAL fun starts when their employers start rolling back their work hours below the 30-per-week “full-time” threshold to avoid some of the regulatory burden of Obamacare.

Gee, what makes them think so?

Using Karl Marx’s ideas to help the middle class is like using Adolph Hitler’s ideas to help the Jews.

Marx HATED the middle class.

Marx’s first idea to get rid of the middle class: a progressive income tax.

It’s hard to feel sorry for the middle class in 2013: they overwhelmingly voted for this.

Anyone who thinks that they can tax a rich man is a damn fool and should be treated as such.

Anyone who says that they can tax a rich man is a liar or a thief and should be treated as such.

ObamaCare contains the seeds of its own destruction. See tag line.

Of course. That was the original intention. Through rising prices, which they cause, people earning a moderate amount are hit more and more by taxes.
Then the bastards say “we didn’t know!”

1. This is a very simple result and conclusion. The “Middle Class” whoever they are do not have powerfil lobbists. We are a large, slow moving targed and hence will be attacked at will.

2. The rich and powerful are well insulated. They also make large contributions to their candidates.

3. Heel of the oppressor will be on our heads soon.

" and by making sure that the wealthiest Americans pay their fair share "

Anytime you read or hear this remark look around as you will surely see a MARXIST.

Yes it will. This was always the plan. Implement the “benefits” first so that it was entrenched, then sock people with the taxes. All the while pretending that this was “free” healthcare paid for only by “the rich.” Once the Middle Class suckers who voted for Obama realize that they will be paying the bill, it will be too late.

Obamacare is about power and subjugation-not healthcare.
