Unless the law is repealed the Obamacare taxes will go ahead. The insurance industry is making changes because of the law. The 112th Congress cannot just ignore Obamacare. You have a fundamental misunderstanding of the Rule of Law and the Constitution.

Here is a list of taxes that have gone or will go into effect This is a couple of them.

Medicine Cabinet Tax ($5 Billion/January 2011): Americans no longer able to use health savings account (HSA), flexible spending account (FSA), or health reimbursement (HRA) pre-tax dollars to purchase non-prescription, over-the-counter medicines (except insulin).

HSA Withdrawal Tax Hike ($1.4 Billion/January 2011): Increases additional tax on non-medical early withdrawals from an HSA from 10 to 20 percent, disadvantaging them relative to IRAs and other tax-advantaged accounts, which remain at 10 percent.

Obamacare can be slowed or parts of it changed, but you have to pass laws to make those changes.

You dance better than Bristol Palin. Yes, the taxes will go forward. Taxes aren’t spending. The spending to enact the rest of the law will stop if the House fails to pass an authorization to spend money to do it.
