Obamacare Fines Charitable Hospitals

American Overlook ^

[DBCJR]

Charitable hospitals that treat uninsured children will now be fined and receive harsher scrutiny when applying for non-profit, tax-exempt status.

The Internal Revenue Service’s Section 501 goes into effect under Obamacare. The provision stipulates new financial penalties for charitable, tax-exempt hospitals that treat uninsured poor Americans. Currently, 60 percent of American hospitals fall under this category.

Analysts explained that charity serves as a major deterrent for the uninsured to enroll in Obamacare, so the Obama administration is fining charitable hospitals.

“Failure to comply, or to prove this continuing need, could result in the loss of the hospital’s tax-exempt status. The hospital would then become a for-profit venture, paying income tax— hence the positive revenue score” for the federal government, explained John Kartch of Americans for Tax Reform.

Every time you turn around, there is something else perverted and enslaving in this "we have to pass it to see what's in it" piece of sh*t legislation.

This robs individuals of their freedom, which is the definition of slavery.

This sounds like a violation of the First Amendment “free exercise of religion” clause, since Christians, Jews, and even Muslims are enjoined to engage in charity to treat the poor.

Why haven’t there been any Federal Lawsuits about this?

Or since a tax cannot be subject to lawsuit until it is actually harmed someone, do we have to wait until 1 January 2015?

Some White Hut presstitute needs to ask the mincing down low with Bath House Barry O exactly why he signed this evil monstrosity. Christian charities provide health care to the needy on a massive scale. Bath House Barry seeks to destroy these charities. As an ineluctable result, the truly needy and their babies will die. Remember, when the evil Kenyan sand monkey was in office in the miserable state of illinois, he vehemently and whole-heartedly supported the practice of placing living babies on stainless steel gurneys, in hospitals, and leaving them without blankets, food or water until they died.

Now that he has committed high treason by letting his co-cultists in Teheran build nuclear weapons, placing G*d's People and this formerly free republic under existential threat, he has revealed the obscene, abysmal depths of his evil for all to see. He should be impeached, tried and convicted immediately.

There will be!

I have drawn similar parallels with 1930s Germany.

Who said I had faith in the Republican Party?

[DBCJR]

We are brothers in that.

[cableguymn]

well. you did. at least the way I read “it’s gonna take a republican president and congress to fix this”

[DBCJR]

That was an excerpt from the article, not my statement.

[cableguymn]

Oh, in that case, my bad. I am sorry.

Obama needs to get the care he wants to thrust on everyone else.
