PELOSI: Buy a $15,000 Policy or Go to Jail
http://republicans.waysandmeans.house.gov ^

Posted on 11/06/2009 4:04:23 PM PST by Typical_Whitey

Today, Ranking Member of the House Ways and Means Committee Dave Camp (R-MI) released a letter from the non-partisan Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) confirming that the failure to comply with the individual mandate to buy health insurance contained in the Pelosi health care bill (H.R. 3962, as amended) could land people in jail. The JCT letter makes clear that Americans who do not maintain “acceptable health insurance coverage” and who choose not to pay the bill’s new individual mandate tax (generally 2.5% of income), are subject to numerous civil and criminal penalties, including criminal fines of up to $250,000 and imprisonment of up to five years.

In response to the JCT letter, Camp said: “This is the ultimate example of the Democrats’ command-and-control style of governing – buy what we tell you or go to jail. It is outrageous and it should be stopped immediately.”

Key excerpts from the JCT letter appear below:

“H.R. 3962 provides that an individual (or a husband and wife in the case of a joint return) who does not, at any time during the taxable year, maintain acceptable health insurance coverage for himself or herself and each of his or her qualifying children is subject to an additional tax.” [page 1]

“If the government determines that the taxpayer’s unpaid tax liability results from willful behavior, the following penalties could apply…” [page 2]

Unconstitutional, Unfathomable. Where are the civil libertarians when you really need them. ACLU should be up in arms about the shear intrusion of government on private persons....

America spinning upside down.... KILL THE BILL

All that hype. It’s not like they have a gun to your head.............
Oh, wait, that is exactly what it means.
Criminal provisions mean comply or kiss your rights and your freedom and your job and your home goodbye.

I won’t tolerate it. But my congressman will.

If we ever have another revolution, can we just imprison her in an igloo at the north pole?
