29. IRS Health Care

Pelosi has rolled out a second version of the House health care scheme.  The first version was 1200 pages.  This version is 200 pages.  The difference?  More regulations, more taxes.

The announcement came with the usual quota of lies:

-- It won't increase the deficit (it will cost trillions)

-- It will increase health care (reduce it by instituting rationing)

-- You can keep your insurance (private insurance will be driven out of business by the non-profit "public option")

-- It won't raise your taxes (the bill is full of new taxes)

-- More and cheaper health care (20% cut in Medicare means less care)

-- Won't impact private insurance companies (it will destroy them)

-- Etc., etc.

The IRS (the most feared agency in the government) is put in charge of enforcing compliance with the health rules, and collection of new taxes:

-- Taxes on employers

-- Taxes on those who don't buy insurance
(and prison sentences)

-- Taxes on those who buy insurance

-- Taxes on insurance companies

-- Taxes on rich people

-- Taxes on "medical devices", including tampons and condoms (Tax toilet paper in Version 3?)

The IRS will control and enforce government health care.

The aim and goal of this health scheme is the destruction of the capitalist economy. It is collectivism in action, enforced by the IRS.  It is what Obama meant by "change".

Welcome to fascist health care.

 

Obey Obama!  Obey Obama!
