  • Senate Healthcare Bill Uses the Term “Tax” 124 Times

    From John Kartch on Thursday, October 22, 2009 1:46 PM A word search of the 1,502-page Senate healthcare bill (S. 1796) reveals that the term “tax” is used 124 times, “taxable” is used 158 times, and “excise tax” is used 12 times.

    Other terms of interest are as follows:

    Senate Health Care Bill (S. 1796)
    Term
    Number of uses
    “Tax”
    124 times
    “Taxes”
    16 times
    “Excise tax”
    12 times
    “Taxpayer(s)”
    79 times
    “Taxable”
    158 times
    “Tax-exempt”
    15 times
    “Penalty”
    79 times
    “Require”
    88 times
    “Must”
    40 times
    “Shall”
    2,585 times
    The “excise tax” mentioned on page 194 is just one of several taxes in the bill that violate President Obama’s tax pledge. During his campaign, Obama made a “firm pledge” not to raise “any form” of taxes on families making less than $250,000 per year. Click here for a printable PDF of this document

    While costs of HC will continue to rise regardless of this bogus law. They didnt do one thing to stem the costs of HC. The only thing they did is act like a bunch of nazis and demand that all people will have to own health insurance or get a fine.

  • the leftists in Congress and the Obamao admin LIED out their wazoos, then Vapor?

    "Everybody knows it will come out of our pockets" ??? That is what is sounds like to me.

    Then apparently the leftists in our gov don't know it, or are deliberately misleading

    our entire populace to further their leftist agenda.

    Which do you think fits, Vapor? Heck? Sev?
