That is correct... the MANDATE was a TAX increase to all who purchased health insurance whether they got the vaccine or NOT. NOW how much $$$$ did Merck invest to get politicians to TAX with out CONSENT of the governed.
Yeah okay whatever. Get your magnifiying glass out, find some tiny sliver of minutea, then present it as a boulder.
Right or wrong, what you bring up is not the issue. Nobody is lighting their hair on fire in protest of insurance companies having to add another (relatively cheap) vaccination to the long list. They are lighting their hair on fire in protest of making the vaccination MANDATORY.
Except making the vaccination mandatory NEVER HAPPENED. Yet Bachmann and many FReepers keep repeating the very opposite, despite being repeatedly corrected ad nauseum.
I think maybe she's right - Gardisal is making her and many others "retarded."
