Health Care BS

If you’re under the impression that Democrat health “reform” will only affect your medical care, think again. Among Obamacare’s scariest features is its dramatic expansion of IRS power:

Internal Revenue Service agents already try to catch tax cheats and moonshiners. Under the proposed health care legislation, they would get another assignment: checking to see whether Americans have health insurance.

That’s right. The tax man will be making sure you comply with Obamacare’s individual insurance mandate, which requires you to buy government-approved health insurance:

To meet the mandate, Americans would have to provide proof of insurance coverage with their annual tax returns. The mandate begins in 2013 under the House bill; 2014 in the Senate bill.

And what happens if you reject the Orwellian notion that the IRS should be a bill collector for the insurance companies? Well, if you don’t comply, the tax man cometh:

Those who don’t would pay a penalty to the IRS … That’s one of several key duties the IRS would assume under the bills that have been approved by the House and Senate.

This, by the way, is something Barack Obama campaigned against in the presidential campaign. In fact, during the primaries, he routinely attacked Hillary for proposing this very thing.

But that was then and this is now. Now he’s ready, willing and able to sign a “reform” bill that gives the IRS the power to enforce the government’s requirement that you buy its pre-approved insurance policy.

Now that “change” you will “believe in” whether you like it or not.
