File this under 'you never thought it would happen in America.'
The Senate healthcare bill that is scheduled to be 'deemed as passed' by the House of Representatives Sunday afternoon, H.R. 3590, mandates the Internel Revenue Service as the enforcement arm of Barack Obama's dictate that all Americans be covered by health insurance.
The IRS will be empowered to check every month to ensure that every American meets Obama's dictated health insurance standards.
The IRS is also empowered to levy fines on those not in compliance. Under existing federal law, refusal to follow the rules of the IRS can lead to imprisonment--or worse.
An analysis released yesterday by Republicans on the House Ways and Means Committee estimates that 16,500 IRS agents will need to be hired to meet the expanded authority granted the IRS.
The nine page .PDF document details how the IRS will become the new overlord of the American people. A new section of the IRS code, 5000A, would be created by the bill. Americans would be required to maintain insurance deemed acceptable by the secretaries of the Treasury and Health and Human Services. Failure to do so would result in enforcement fines levied by the IRS in the hundreds or thousands of dollars depending on the income of the offender. The fines would be known as the Indivdiual Mandate Tax. The report adds that the IRS could add interest and penalties for failure to pay the IMT.
Health insurance providers would be required to file reports with the IRS on each individual they insure. The IRS would be able to share confidential taxpayer information with Health and Human Services.
According to the report, exemptions to the IMT dictate would be granted by Obama to approved groups and individuals for the following reasons: religious conscience, members of a health care sharing ministry, those below the poverty line, members of Indian tribes, incarcerated individuals and illegal aliens.
Under this bill, every American would be forced to answer to Barack Obama. If they fail to submit to his will, they will be fined, imprisoned or worse.

AND ANOTHER THING. AIR FORCE ONE IS NOT A GOLF CART.
Ah, but you will always get to keep an appointment with the death panel, ZEKE EMMANUEL and Terri Schiavo’s nemesis, GEORGE FELOS, AT LAW. He wrote the end of life junk in the bill.
Da da da da daaaaa...We're lovin' it!:)
The possiblity exists that some people would join free republic to say really bad things to make the rest of us look bad.
I wonder if he has a food taster yet.
The pubbies are speaking now. They outshine the demon dems in brains, composure and of course, they are trying to preserve the union, not create fundamental change. Maybe that’s why Michele is hiding cuz she said our lives would never be the same. She got that right!
The Pubbies are going to win majorities in the House AND Senate AND take the White House this year? WOW!
She and Joe Biden have gone to their individual Cone of Silence bunkers to wait out the weekend. It's where she keeps her secret stash of potato chips, moon pies and pork rinds.
the list
We demonized the demonizer in chief.
Any idea how much sales are up, percentage-wise, over, say, 2007?
I’ve been pulling the number 300% out of the air, but would be interested in real numbers.
Right on target; Fire For Effect
Pelosi praying to HER St. Joseph Stalin.
DEMON PASS is March Madness.
Yes, that's more like it. I call her Pelosi cuz she's brought shame to everyone who shares her first name.
Call me naive, but, why do government entities, other than law enforcement and the military, need guns?
Nice. Turn their argument back on them. “Only the police and military need to have guns”
Anyone with this mindset, however, is a statist,
and wouldn’t blink an eye at arming every agent of the state.
