BLOGGER ON FAR-LEFT WEBSITE THOUGHT HE ‘COULD GO ALONG’ WITH OBAMACARE - NOW HE CAN’T BELIEVE
theblaze.com ^ | October 15, 2013 | Jason Howerton

As the realities of Obamacare continue to sink in, more and more people are getting letters from their health insurance providers telling them that their plans no longer comply with federal requirements under Obamacare. We just brought you the story of “Trick Shot Titus” and his family facing significant increases in the cost of their health care plans.

Now, a community blogger on the far-left Daily Kos website has penned a blog post complaining that both he and his wife are facing a nearly 100 percent increase in their monthly premiums. He claims he is canceling his insurance and refuses to pay any “f***ing penalty.”

Blogger “Tirge Caps” explains:

We tried to tell them but they refused to listen. His first mistake was believing Obama and Pelosi and Reid.

That’s it, exactly. Recall that Boston Globe article (which is now really hard to find) where Barney Frank admitted that he and the Dems ignored the Bush Admin’s warnings on the coming housing market collapse because they just assumed that the Bush Admin was playing political games.

If you find yourself in a conversation with someone bemoaning their ObamaCare costs take the opportunity to remind them that those costs will be greatly increased with tens of millions of illegals granted amnesty and added to the rolls of freeloading ObamaCare recipients.


Don’t know if you were watching Megyn Kelly last night, but Louie Gommert commented on the amnesty push being the next big thing and one of the reasons he and others stand behind defunding OCare.

He simply pointed out that there are some in the congress who want to protect the US from these ill thought plans .

Go Louie.

Thats the problem. Even when they admit it there are no consequences.

As a faithful water carrier he should file with “The Great ObamaNation” for a suck-up exemption.

Aren’t the illegals still going to get free health care? As far as I know ObamaCare doesn’t change the law that requires ER’s to treat them for whatever they want. With all their fake ID’s how will the IRS penalize them?

Wait till they start taking private property for payment. They will even equate it to capitalism. When you can’t pay your debts we need to take your car or your house. But don’t worry, you can move to govt. housing where we tell you to. That is the true end game of greedy government.

I thought with this guy’s background; he would be exempt? After reading what he said; I am still suspicious.

And the IRS won’t stop at taking fines just related to 0bamacare either. Didn’t file your taxes last year? No problem. We’ll just save you the trouble and take them ourselves, along with the P & I.

This scenario is ‘zackly why I’ve scratched my head at some Republican efforts to delay 0-care until after the 2014 elections......let it kick in now, so people get kicked in the gnuts, and start to realize what they voted for last year.

Hey KOmmie, this is what you voted for. It is ALWAYS the result of top down, heavy fisted, cenralized planners. You are nothing but a commodity now and your life is only extended at the whim of an elitist that wants to be able to fit in at the cocktail parties.

This is what you wanted, now suffer with glee.

Oh no, no, no, my sweet little leftist - you WILL pay, because that's what you supported. Oh, maybe you tried to deny that that was what the law was when you were fighting those nasty rightwingers that opposed Obamacare because they were "racist", but the law is the law. You WILL pay.

Socialism is using the State to do your stealing for you because you're too much of a coward to come up to me and take it yourself.

How is that going to work?

Most people file taxes electronically now. Will TurboTax ask if you want to pay this optional penalty for not having insurance?

I don’t think so.

RE :”Most people file taxes electronically now. Will TurboTax ask if you want to pay this optional penalty for not having insurance? I don’t think so.”

It will ask you for proof that you meet that mandate and if you check that you dont then it will tell you owe the penalty/tax and deduct that amount from your refund.

But if you are not due a refund then they are out of luck. If they try to do anything plenty of lawyers will volunteer to take it to court to get a court to rule that the government cant do anything about it.

Heard it on the Grapevine: Check your W-2 this year. The value of your healthcare "insurance" will now be on it.

Don't know who determines the $ amount.

I been going through this too often here.

Everytime I post that the IRS is clearly forbidden from punishing you for not paying the fine/tax, I get the same fictional responses.

I think their goal is to make it sound so scary that it gets magically repealed(poof) , but give that is not happening this misinformation can have the unintended consequence of fooling/scaring people into complying and helping Obamacare work.

I found the section in the bill text and will post it as a vanity for future reference.
