UNCONSTITUTIONAL!

Excise taxes must be uniform in the whole country.

Presuming there's no inflation escalator clause in the deal that means all non-union health insurance plans will creep up into the taxable level fairly quickly.

Give this 5 years and people will be assassinating union members just to open up bottom rung jobs so they can avoid ruinous insurance policy taxes.

Surely this has to be unconstitutional. Whatever happened to equal treatment under the law?

What part of “equal protection of the law” do these Bozos not understand?

Patently unconstitutional!

We have a winner!
If you take into account that the whole Health Care takeover is UNCONSTITUTIONAL and the ENTIRE DEMOCRAT PARTY is willfully and knowingly acting in concert to impose out and out Tyranny through Unconstitutional Mandates on Individual Citizens, Isn’t this TREASON AGAINST THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES??

While I hope it never comes to that; I fear it will.
