OBAMACARE - THE DANGEROUS AND DEADLY LEGISLATION SHOVED DOWN THE THROATS OF THE AMERICAN CITIZENS -

EVERYONE NEEDS TO READ THIS OBAMACARE TAX LIST - IT IS A REAL EYE-OPENER FOR ALL!

Comprehensive List of Tax Hikes in Obamacare

From Ryan Ellis on Friday, January 14, 2011 6:00 AM

Next week, the U.S. House of Representatives will be voting on an historic repeal of the Obamacare law. While there are many reasons to oppose this flawed government health insurance law, it is important to remember that Obamacare is also one of the largest tax increases in American history. Below is a comprehensive list of the two dozen new or higher taxes that pay for Obamcare’s expansion of government spending and interference between doctors and patients.

Individual Mandate Excise Tax(Jan 2014): Starting in 2014, anyone not buying “qualifying” health insurance must pay an income surtax according to the higher of the following

	1 Adult	2 Adults	3+ Adults
2014	1% AGI/$95	1% AGI/$190	1% AGI/$285
2015	2% AGI/$325	2% AGI/$650	2% AGI/$975
2016 +	2.5% AGI/$695	2.5% AGI/$1390	2.5% AGI/$2085

Exemptions for religious objectors, undocumented immigrants, prisoners, those earning less than the poverty line, members of Indian tribes, and hardship cases (determined by HHS)

Employer Mandate Tax(Jan 2014): If an employer does not offer health coverage, and at least one employee qualifies for a health tax credit, the employer must pay an additional non-deductible tax of $2000 for all full-time employees. This provision applies to all employers with 50 or more employees. If any employee actually receives coverage through the exchange, the penalty on the employer for that employee rises to $3000. If the employer requires a waiting period to enroll in coverage of 30-60 days, there is a $400 tax per employee ($600 if the period is 60 days or longer).

Combined score of individual and employer mandate tax penalty: $65 billion/10 years

Surtax on Investment Income ($123 billion/Jan. 2013): This increase involves the creation of a new, 3.8 percent surtax on investment income earned in households making at least $250,000 ($200,000 single). This would result in the following top tax rates on investment income

	Capital Gains	Dividends	Other*
2010-2012	15%	15%	35%
2013+ (current law)	23.8%	43.4%	43.4%
2013+ (Obama budget)	23.8%	23.8%	43.4%

*Other unearned income includes (for surtax purposes) gross income from interest, annuities, royalties, net rents, and passive income in partnerships and Subchapter-S corporations. It does not include municipal bond interest or life insurance proceeds, since those do not add to gross income. It does not include active trade or business income, fair market value sales of ownership in pass-through entities, or distributions from retirement plans. The 3.8% surtax does not apply to non-resident aliens.

Excise Tax on Comprehensive Health Insurance Plans($32 bil/Jan 2018): Starting in 2018, new 40 percent excise tax on “Cadillac” health insurance plans ($10,200 single/$27,500 family). For early retirees and high-risk professions exists a higher threshold ($11,500 single/$29,450 family). CPI +1 percentage point indexed.

Hike in Medicare Payroll Tax($86.8 bil/Jan 2013): Current law and changes:

	First $200,000 ($250,000 Married) Employer/Employee	All Remaining Wages Employer/Employee
Current Law	1.45%/1.45% 2.9% self-employed	1.45%/1.45% 2.9% self-employed
Obamacare Tax Hike	1.45%/1.45% 2.9% self-employed	1.45%/2.35% 3.8% self-employed

Medicine Cabinet Tax($5 bil/Jan 2011): Americans no longer able to use health savings account (HSA), flexible spending account (FSA), or health reimbursement (HRA) pre-tax dollars to purchase non-prescription, over-the-counter medicines (except insulin)

HSA Withdrawal Tax Hike($1.4 bil/Jan 2011): Increases additional tax on non-medical early withdrawals from an HSA from 10 to 20 percent, disadvantaging them relative to IRAs and other tax-advantaged accounts, which remain at 10 percent.

Flexible Spending Account Cap – aka“Special Needs Kids Tax”($13 bil/Jan 2013): Imposes cap of $2500 (Indexed to inflation after 2013) on FSAs (now unlimited). . There is one group of FSA owners for whom this new cap will be particularly cruel and onerous: parents of special needs children. There are thousands of families with special needs children in the United States, and many of them use FSAs to pay for special needs education. Tuition rates at one leading school that teaches special needs children in Washington, D.C. (National Child Research Center) can easily exceed $14,000 per year. Under tax rules, FSA dollars can be used to pay for this type of special needs education.

Tax on Medical Device Manufacturers($20 bil/Jan 2013): Medical device manufacturers employ 360,000 people in 6000 plants across the country. This law imposes a new 2.3% excise tax. Exemptions include items retailing for less than $100.

Raise "Haircut" for Medical Itemized Deduction from 7.5% to 10% of AGI($15.2 bil/Jan 2013): Currently, those facing high medical expenses are allowed a deduction for medical expenses to the extent that those expenses exceed 7.5 percent of adjusted gross income (AGI). The new provision imposes a threshold of 10 percent of AGI; it is waived for 65+ taxpayers in 2013-2016 only.

Tax on Indoor Tanning Services($2.7 billion/July 1, 2010): New 10 percent excise tax on Americans using indoor tanning salons

Elimination of tax deduction for employer-provided retirement Rx drug coverage in coordination with Medicare Part D($4.5 bil/Jan 2013)

Blue Cross/Blue Shield Tax Hike($0.4 bil/Jan 2010): The special tax deduction in current law for Blue Cross/Blue Shield companies would only be allowed if 85 percent or more of premium revenues are spent on clinical services

Excise Tax on Charitable Hospitals(Min$/immediate): $50,000 per hospital if they fail to meet new "community health assessment needs," "financial assistance," and "billing and collection" rules set by HHS

Tax on Innovator Drug Companies($22.2 bil/Jan 2010): $2.3 billion annual tax on the industry imposed relative to share of sales made that year.

Tax on Health Insurers($60.1 bil/Jan 2014): Annual tax on the industry imposed relative to health insurance premiums collected that year. The stipulation phases in gradually until 2018, and is fully-imposed on firms with $50 million in profits.

$500,000 Annual Executive Compensation Limit for Health Insurance Executives($0.6 bil/Jan 2013)

Employer Reporting of Insurance on W-2(Min$/Jan 2011): Preamble to taxing health benefits on individual tax returns.

Corporate 1099-MISC Information Reporting($17.1 bil/Jan 2012): Requires businesses to send 1099-MISC information tax forms to corporations (currently limited to individuals), a huge compliance burden for small employers

“Black liquor” tax hike(Tax hike of $23.6 billion). This is a tax increase on a type of bio-fuel.

Codification of the “economic substance doctrine”(Tax hike of $4.5 billion). This provision allows the IRS to disallow completely-legal tax deductions and other legal tax-minimizing plans just because the IRS deems that the action lacks “substance” and is merely intended to reduce taxes owed.

In 2010, the FDA received the least amount of drug patents in the history of the USA. Also, the gov't will force you onto their plan by "taxing" your current plan. Finally, those 30 million "un-insured"....85% are ILLEGAL ALIENS! BRING BACK CAPITOLISM, we have become weak!

Don't look to Obama - he's a mere puppet. His day consists of 2 work outs, napping, shooting hoops with black NBA players, golf practice, planning the next lavish vacation and generally hanging out with Hollyweird types. Once, sometimes twice a day, they trot him out to read the teleprompter for 8 minutes of propaganda. He's a distraction. It's funny how they roll out 2,000 page bills written by legal experts and nobody reads them. Well somebody in charge designed and wrote them over years of development. Try reading the Cap and Tax bill section on electrical fixtures. I'm an intelligent guy, but I'd rather do differential calculus problems than decipher that mess. Smacks of corporate conspiracy.

Joe Biden, for example has contributed a whopping average of $369 a year to charitable enities over the last 10 years (yet he and his ilk are in favor of ripping many times that from the pockets of hard working Americans regardless of political affiliation, but specifically in relation to how much they have been compensated for their efforts).

Both main political parties are beyond salvaging. Recently I joined the America First Party, as it's the only one I can agree with on much it's platform, and felt I needed to try to make a difference. It's an uphill struggle for small third parties, but worth the effort in trying to increase the membership numbers and hopefully oneday becoming a major party getting candidates elected to high office. Right now they are focusing on state and local offices while trying to grow membership. Some who have posted here might like the party's stance on taxes. AmericaFirstParty.org is the party's website for anyone interested in checking it out.

Barack Obama gave all Americans the finger last year with the passage of this legislation. It punishes all Americans but hurts those who can least afford it the most. Raising taxes on the wealthy and middle-class increases economic pressure on the less fortunate. Very stupid man.

Need we repeat "the power to tax is the power to destroy?" I repeat myself: Obamacare is not about health care, it is about control. That is why Obamacare should be repealed, or defunded, or that lacking, stock up on lead and brass as well as tar and feathers. However, the easiest way to repeal Obamacare is to properly vet Obama.

I'd be happy to compare the initials behind my name up against yours. Based on your attitude, I'd guess you to be from a high-middle income family whose parents paid for your uppity college education, and that you have yet to earned any substantial livlihood on your own. But I will rest by just recommending you do some active research.

I wonder what religion you would have to be to be exempt from this? Somebody needs to start an appropriate religion just for this purpose. Thinking about it, as much as the liberals are opposed to religion, I can't believe they wouldn't allow "atheist objectors" to be exempt as well. Of course, you could just call them "conscientious objectors" like they do with the draft. I think quite a few of us would fit that description!

To me, the most un-America and anti-Democracy comments are those like 'Hang em High' and 'By Any Means Necessary'. The concept that when you disgree with someone, you are to kill them is not what the founding fathers inked into the Constitution. We've seen endless numbers of those kinds of societies throughout history on nearly every contitnent in the world. They have never worked and never sustained themselves. Our democracy is based on the ability to debate issues and make improvements and/or address needs - to evolve. There are so many thoughtful comments on here from both sides, it's a shame to see the others.
>> Kevin H Saturday, January 15, 2011 1:22 PM Report Comment

That this bill was passed with virtually nobody having completely read and thoroughly understood its full impact is the real threat. Please, Republicans in the House, don't give up - stay the course to repeal this bill. Then if the full Congress wants to study it, and pass it on its own merit, so be it. But to subject the American people to this unknown entity of a law is absolutely unacceptable. And Erik Osbun is probably right that the easiest way to rid ourselves of obamacare is to vet Obama. Read again the meaning of the term natural-born citizen according to U.S. Code. He is not a natural-born citizen (both parents must be citizens, regardless of where the child is born).
>> SarahP Saturday, January 15, 2011 1:25 PM Report Comment

@US Army Senior Staff NCO: First of all, thanks to you and US Army Officer for your service, but secondly, where is it written that a soldier cannot express support for his Commander in Chief, especially in an anonymous forum like this? When both Bush and Obama have made visits to the troops overseas, were they expected to sit quietly, not applaud, and generally behave with indifference? Because if so, there is plenty of visual evidence that will keep the JAGs busy with courts martial for years to come.
>> Doug Saturday, January 15, 2011 1:28 PM Report Comment

I'm not convinced there's 30 million people without coverage. If I've learned anything in two years, it's that our info from politicians, including Obama, is a bunch of propaganda. This bill was supposed to decrease costs. It does not, it increases costs. It is close to a reproduction of Romneycare, which has turned into a huge disaster. High cost, decreasing quality of care, etc. While a have no objection to tightening up the need for all to be covered if they choose, I definitely think this 2,000 page monstosity could have been condensed to 10 pages. The amount of control over the public in this bill is outrageous and unacceptable. It needs to be repealed. Start over, Congress!

This alone is reason to get all liberals out of office (PERIOD) they are a cancer to the taxpayer. Pelosi herself demonstrated just how corrupt they are with her statement that they had to pas the bill so they could see what it said. Their adgenda is solely power over the populace, so much that they would even foist a bill on us that they had no idea what it said. This is either the height of stupidity, audaciousity or sheer ignorance. I go along with the audaciousity because they excused themselves from the very same standards and coverage.

@Doug continued..... A natural-born citizen is defined as one whose citizenship is established by the jurisdiction which the United States already has over the parents of the child, not what is thereafter acquired by choice of residence in this country. Natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens and naturalized citizens, are those born in the United States of parents who are citizens. Natural-born citizens are also those born outside the United States and its outlying possessions of parents both of whom are citizens of the United States.

Obamacare is titled "Patient Protection And Affordable Care Act" or PPACA. I was happy with pre-existing condition riders excluding coverage because I also did not pay premiums for those. Now my pre-existing conditions will be covered at far greater expense to me, which I cannot aford. There is a reason I buy High deductible (over $10,000) health insurance. It is because I can't afford "Cadillac" coverage. A 30% rate hike for my coverage 6 month after buying my policy - what's affordable about that??

Suspend all new legislation until new rules are in place. I went ahead and wrote these rules, thank you: No bills longer than 25 pages. Zero attachment of anything unrelated to the bill. All bills must have a mandatory 120 day rest period of public review. No amendments once a bill is finalized and the 120 day clock starts. For a bill to become law TWO laws must be repealed until such time we have the same number of laws on the books as we had in 1970. Corporations caught illegally lobbying lawmakers will have their officers' personal homes seized and auctioned off for charity. Anybody violating or manipulating these rules, or willfully trying to game the system, to be tried for treason and publicly hanged. Bam, problem solved.

I am currently paying $1,113 per month for health insurance.When I first heard about health care reform, Obamacare is not doing anything to reduce the excessive cost of my medical insurance. I work for a small business that has just several employees. My understanding is that a business with less than 50 employees, will not be required to offer health coverage. My insurance first went up drastically, after I reached 55 years old, and then there were also a couple of unusually large annual rate increases too. My insurance is with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona. Because, of a slight medical problem that came up last year, they are not willing to move me to a different plan.
>> RickH Saturday, January 15, 2011 3:09 PM Report Comment

Health care in Switzerland is a good model. Everyone is "required" to have a "basic" level of medical coverage provided by private insurance companies. Those who want more pay according to the level of coverage they want. Those who can't afford to buy the insurance are subsidized. It is a much simpler approach than is proposed for the U.S. It works for the Swiss but I guess we can't adopt something similar because it wasn't invented here and the amount of subsidy here might be too great.
>> Jug Saturday, January 15, 2011 3:09 PM Report Comment

@SarahP: I saw the ones you posted as well, but a person only needs to meet one of those criteria to meet eligibility. AS for the term 'natural born citizen', this appears in the Constitution, but not in the US Code. The Constitution is the framework for our laws, and the US Code is the actual laws themselves, which, are based on interpretations of the Constitution by our Legislators, Executives, and Justices. The US code as it existed when Obama was elected contained the clause that I posted. Therefore, that was and is the law. That would have to be changed to make him ineligible, and even then I don't believe it would be retroactive(not positive about that point).

With a DNA swab and a little blood sample they have just about everything they need for a complete check up. And if this scares the S**T out of you then they WILL have everything! They can send you a print out of results and the address of the nearest GOV. clinic if you need it. Just sayin. Check this out: www.governmentpizza.com

Where do all these uninformed people come from? Be against this plan if you feel it is not good for the American people, but stop repeating untruths and propaganda. All this law does is to help the poor,give all of us a better break in dealing with insurance companies, and raise a few taxes to help pay for it. This law will not be repealed in this Congress, as we all know. So, propose amendments that you think will streamline it.

"This country needs to flourish. That is what the American Dream is all about. Without we are nothing. Obamacare is bad for American and bad for tax payers. Join the only REAL repeal petition and stop Obamacare. http://bit.ly/therepealpledge"

I am not in favor of Obamacare but think about this>>>>>>>>>>>>> Have you ever seen a poor doctor? Check out their fancy offices. Why are hospitals so fancy with lots of wasted space (fountains, fancy waiting areas, etc.) Who do you think pays for this. Why should a doctor spend 3 minutes with a patient and charge $135? Don't stop there. Drug company representatives (those that visit doctor's offices, walks in the back without being introduced, carrying a box of donuts and whatever else that might be in their hand carried bag)takes home well over $100,000 per year and probably a commission on sales. Do you think that insurance companies are all to blame? Let's all get serious and look at all these probabilities.
