Labels and Gay Benefits in Health Bill
By ROBERT PEAR
Published: November 7, 2009
WASHINGTON — Lower taxes for gay couples who receive health benefits from employers. Nutrition labeling requirements for snack food sold in vending machines and many restaurants. A new program to teach parents how to interact with their children.
Those are some of the little-noticed provisions in a mammoth health care bill taken up Saturday by the House of Representatives.
The main purpose of the bill is to make health insurance readily available to all Americans. To that end, it would expand Medicaid and provide hundreds of billions of dollars in subsidies to help moderate-income people buy insurance.
As a high-priority bill for Congressional leaders and President Obama, the legislation has become a vehicle for many other initiatives large and small.
Supporters of gay rights have long been trying to change the tax treatment of health benefits provided by employers to the domestic partners of their employees. In effect, such benefits are now treated as taxable income for the employee, and the employer may owe payroll taxes on their fair-market value.
Under the bill, such benefits would be tax-free, just like health benefits provided to the family of an employee married to a person of the opposite sex.
Representative Jim McDermott, Democrat of Washington, who proposed the change, said it would “correct a longstanding injustice, end a blatant inequity in the tax code and help make health care coverage more affordable for more Americans.”

HEEL, it's these PERVERTS that RAISE OUR HEALTH CARE COSTS!
They TYPICALLY have AIDS - males in particular.
“Gay” males typically have every social disease imaginable.
Homosexuals are PERVERTS and pay the price through diseases and often DEATH form their sexual diseases.

Obama Says A Baby Is A Punishment
Obama: “If they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby.”
Hey GOP you had better mention ALL OF THIS for the next year on TV, and in AD’s
Every day the voters need to be reminded of this Govt take over
All of this kind of makes sense if you realize that Obamas (the Dems) constituency is the the people that live in the projects.
The so called rich people are people that don't live in government subsidized housing. These rich people are the ones that will have to share the wealth.
Are you kidding??? This is the LEAST of our worries!!! The Dems have totally taken over our economy and all you’re worried about is the faggots??? Are you kidding???
Hey Pelosi, we know as you know the main purpose of this bill is not about health care.
You have won nothing.
Americans need to make a mockery of this. If your buddy works at IBM--register as his domestic partner, and share the benefits tax-free! If they say "But I though you were straight" just say "I am multi-sexual. How DARE you question my sexuality you HATER!"
Actually, REALLY confuse them: claim to be trisexual. Then admit you’ll try anything sexual. But it won’t fit in their neat little categories, and drive them nuts. . .

Familiarize yourself with the homosexual agenda before you go making yourself look even more foolish with further posts like the one you just wrote.
