I’ve heard so many disturbing rumors about Obamacare that I don’t know what to believe anymore. One of the rumors I heard is that under Obamacare everybody who works in a hospital or nursing home will have to be unionized to keep their jobs, even in the right-to-work states. Another rumor floating around is that the Earned Income Tax Credit for low-income workers will be abolished in January, and all those funds will be transferred to the Obamacare bureaucracy to provide healthcare for the indigent. And then there’s the rumor that the IRS has been authorized to send the police to your home, arrest you and confiscate your property if you don’t pay the Obamacare Tax. That last rumor sounds like tinfoil hat paranoia, but you never know. Has anybody on Capital Hill ever read that bill yet? And is there anywhere online where We The People can get access to it, so we can read it?
It doesn’t matter who has read it. Katherine Sebelius can make it up as she goes along. The law is whatever she and her minions say it is.
