Confirmed! Comply with Pelosi Health Care Bill Or Go To Prison

0 votes

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.
n 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]

That should rate removal and criminal charges.

The Last Straw?

What is worse is they are tying it to income tax. So the health care bill is designed to scrounge up all those who are not on the IRS tax roles. Many people simply can't afford health insurance so are they all going to jail? How about all those new found IRS freedom people? Will they all go to jail? If this bill passes and gets implemented there will be instantly millions of newly created criminals to be rounded up.... Who is Congress serving since it is obviously not us? Me thinks this bill, if passed, will be the proverbial last straw for many folks.

I agree, and the first to protest will likely be members of ...

Operation Rescue, , I could even see Feminists-for -life getting some peaceful, civil disobedience going on this one, as WAKE-UP has isssued the clarion call by their sit in at Pelosi's office today. Traitorous statists!

But that man should play the tyrant over God, and find Him a better man than himself, is astonishing drama indeed!~~D. Sayers

Let me see if I understand this

Queen Pelosi, a millionaire, who flies private jet on my dime and has the best health insurance and medical services in the world (also on my dime) is going to make me pay a tax if I can't afford to buy health insurance which will probably cost me more due to government interference in this market. And if I don't pay the tax she's gonna fine me a quarter of a mil and put me in jail for a nickle bid?

It's getting to the point

where it's like they're throwing a fastball by our heads every 5 minutes.

They are pushing it.

It's not about where my tipping point is. I object to being forced to pay taxes for trash pick-up. I'm way past that.

It's about how many people they are pushing right now. This is going to backfire.

Defend Liberty!

It is like they have gotten bored jabbing a finger in the rest

the worlds shoulder, until they get mad and punch back. So now they have decided to start back with us.

When the rich people start moving out of the country,

the Dems will quickly realize they need to back off on that or they won't have such juicy targets to tax.

Defend Liberty!

To late

The rich have already left. Notice how Jim Rogers, Marc Faber, Max Keiser are all broadcasting from outside the country. There are many more. If Peter Schiff doesn't get elected he will probably leave too.

It is worse by the minute

They are fueling the revolution, BIG TIME!

I've been trying to call my congresswoman for an hour and the

line is still busy!!!

Just talked to the my congresswoman's office,

and he said she has read the bill all the way through. Then I asked about these different discussing jail time and fines and said he was unaware. I asked if she was and he didn't have an answer. Either she didn't read the bill or she is evil.

Some of the health care

mandate has already passed. It was included in the stimulus bill earlier this year. I don't know all the details but yesterday on the online 12 hour broadcast the Republicans held, it was discussed at one point. I had to leave and was unable to listen to all of it.

Should I assume there is no

Should I assume there is no opt-out for expatriates and those who leave the country?

BOYCOTT INSURANCE

and banks.
Yeah, it would work. Yeah, I know no one will do it.

Truth exists, and it deserves to be cherished.

Beautiful !!!!

People who are un-employed and perhaps homeless will get penalized by the socialist agenda.

Will the Obamabots even stop to consider what the ramifications are?

makes me sick

The obamabots thinks they are going to get FREE healthcare

along with the rest of the country. This is not healthcare reform and does nothing to lower the costs of medical care. This is going to put a huge bullseye on the back of Madame Pelosi.
