Save Money - Go To Jail

By captainfish · Friday, September 25. 2009 22:35
Yep. That's the ruling that has recently been made over the regulations in the ObamaCare bill.

Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.) received a handwritten note Thursday from Joint Committee on Taxation Chief of Staff Tom Barthold confirming the penalty for failing to pay the up to $1,900 fee for not buying health insurance.

Violators could be charged with a misdemeanor and could face up to a year in jail or a $25,000 penalty, Barthold wrote on JCT letterhead. He signed it "Sincerely, Thomas A. Barthold."


Seriously? Jail time for wanting to save money because you yourself have deemed yourself healthy enough to not want to spend your hard-earned money on useless "health" insurance?

First, it is UNCONSTITUTIONAL for any government to mandate that you BUY something to protect yourself from misery.

Second, I believe that it is ILLEGAL for the government to incarcerate people who willingly refuse to buy a health insurance plan that they inherently disbelieve in.

Third, I also believe that it is ILLEGAL for the government, especially ours that was once based on the US Constitution, to set a level of heath-care coverage for any individual citizen.

It is not the business of any form of government, or its elected ruling elite, to tell me how to live my life.

That was one of the reasons that people wanted to separate from the King of England and seek a land of their own.

Government: Here to protect you. (despite our wishes and despite our desires to be free)


[Update 1] Whatever happened to the leftist ideology of being .. PRO-CHOICE?!!?

[Update 2] Seems Ace, once again, all over this. With much more to add.

Translated into plain English, it means that in any year in which a particular doctor's average per-patient Medicare costs are in the top 10 percent in the nation, the feds will cut the doctor's payments by 5 percent.


Yeah, that will lead to your doctor working hard and putting in that extra mile for your.. health.

Or NOT!

Here is what a handful of random people think about this article. But first, the fine print:
The opinions expressed here, even where approved for display, do not necessarily reflect the opinions of this website, the management, or any other entity or organization, with the exception of the Vast Zionist Conspiracy. Those opinions we represent in style, yo. Please keep the language in these comments clean, as this is intended to be a family-friendly, work-friendly website. Comments not compliant with this policy will be edited for content where necessary. Abusive or otherwise illegal comments will be reported to the proper authorities, up to and including the aforementioned Vast Zionist Conspiracy. The Management cannot and will not be held responsible for commenters making a spectacle of themselves, even if The Management are the said commenters in question. In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.

*It's not all bad. At least when you're in jail, you get free health care.
