What is at Stake 11/10/2009 8:13:13 AM
What Is at stake in the Pelosi and Co. Health Care Bill
This is a one paragraph synopsis of a "portion" of Pelosi's and Co. Health Care bill (to be voted on "soon")... The points made are verified and "in the bill" and will be ENFORCEABLE!
Today, Ranking Member of the House Ways and Means Committee Dave Camp (R-MI) released a letter from the non-partisan Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) confirming that the failure to comply with the individual mandate to buy health insurance contained in the Pelosi health care bill (H.R. 3962, as amended) could land people in jail. The JCT letter
makes clear that Americans who do not maintain "acceptable health insurance coverage" and who choose not to pay the bill's new individual mandate tax (generally 2.5% of income), are subject to numerous civil and criminal penalties, including criminal fines of up to $250,000 and
imprisonment of up to five years.
This, perhaps, is the beginning of the end of our freedoms.
