From Americans for Tax Reform:

A word search of Sen. Harry Reid’s 2,074-page Senate healthcare bill (H.R. 3590) reveals that the term “tax” is used 183 times, “taxable” is used 164 times, and “excise tax” is used 8 times.

Other terms of interest are as follows:

Senate Healthcare Bill (H.R. 3590)
Term Number of uses
“Tax” 183 times
“Taxable” 164 times
“Excise tax” 8 times
“Taxes” 17 times
“Fee” 152 times
“Penalty” 115 times
“Require” 166 times
“Must” 45 times
“Shall” 3,607 times

I thought we were going to get free health care?

Merry Christmas, you ungrateful, unwashed masses!

KOMO News reporter Shomari Stone: Do you think it’s fair to send people to jail who don’t buy health insurance?

Pelosi: …The legislation is very fair in this respect.

According to Committee On Ways & Means Republicans Ranking Member, Dave Camp, “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 bills 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.”

rearview_mirror2President Obama and his minions in Congress claim that their liberty destroying healthcare bill will cover 96% of Americans, and that no one will be denied coverage.

Unfortunately, what they don’t tell you is that Obamacare is ostensibly modeled on Medicare.

From Archimedes on HotAir.com:

Medicare’s record of “denial of service” exceeds all American insurance companies combined!.

That is the other great lie hawking to the great unwashed, that all proceedures will be covered, i.e. no denials of treatment, when of course their program has intended rationing as well as the inherent rationing that comes with doctors quitting practice here, swamping of the system and the closure of hospitals for imbalance of services and reimbursements.

The Catholic Hospital System alone nearly accounts for 1/2 of all our hospital facilities and they have made it quite clear that if abortion services are mandated they will close their operations. Poof! Just like that close to a 50% evaporation of medical care in the blink of an eye.

The disaster the Obamacare will wreak on our nation is an utter clamity in the making. Then comes the Cap & Trade debacle and the immediate and draconian reduction of our GDP that’ll ensue.

If anyone is still unclear on the concept, Obama is pulling the lynch pins of the country, his intent is to hobble us and remove the nation from the world stage as a major power.

If you’re unclear as to what liberties and freedoms will be taken from you by Obama, read this:

“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.”
