"Reform includes a shared responsibility requirement, for those
who dont already have insurance to either purchase affordable health
insurance or pay a fee of 2.5 percent of their income so they are not
driving up everyone elses health costs........"
You better make sure you are purchasing the "Affordable" kind ya know............ What a joke.
"For a small number of people who might refuse to pay the fee, it
is important to remember that, in the majority of cases, the IRS which
will enforce the insurance requirement uses the CIVIL process to settle
delinquent penalties and taxes.""............Indeed, in 2008, there were 156 million individual tax returns
filed in the United States. Out of all of those 156 million returns,
there were only 100 criminal prosecutions for willful failure to pay
taxes and only for the most egregious examples of those who willfully
defraud the system.".
How come Ol' Tim Gietner, Tom Daschle or Charlie Rangel weren't on that list?????????
Which is this gonna be ? A Tax or a Fine? Which one???
A fine is a tax for doing wrong........... A tax is a fine for doing well......... Or is it a Fee?
One things for sure. She and the other Representatives that voted for this are totally disconnected from reality.
