TODAY IS AN HISTORIC DAY…SAY GOODBYE TO YOUR FREEDOM!
Don’t be fooled by the apparent altruistic offers from the Marxists…History has proven that the Marxists’ ultimate goal is control & power: Cuba, North Korea, China, Venezuela, USSR, etc.
Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is bringing to a vote her health care bill H.R. 3962 aka PelosiCare.  Democrats have the majority in the House and in the Senate.  They are ignoring the majority of Americans who are still opposing this reform. (9/12/2009, 11/5/2009)
If you never experienced Tyranny, soon you will…Tyranny is here!

DECONSTRUCTING PELOSI HEALTHCARE
This is a work-in-progress report…it will be updated as we know more:
Cost Estimates
• Heritage: It will Cost $2.6 Trillion
• CBO: New House Health Bill Spending Estimate, $3 Trillion over 10 Years
• AP: Pelosi healthcare will cost more than $1.2 trillion

New Government Powers (WSJ) • Sec. 59b (pp. 297-299) says that when you file your taxes, you must include proof that you are in a qualified plan. If not, you will be fined thousands of dollars. Illegal immigrants are exempt from this requirement. • Sec. 224 (p. 118) provides that 18 months after the bill becomes law, the Secretary of Health and Human Services will decide what a “qualified plan” covers and how much you’ll be legally required to pay for it. That’s like a banker telling you to sign the loan agreement now, then filling in the interest rate and repayment terms 18 months later. • PENALTY: Buy a $15,000 Policy or Go to Jail: as explained by the letter from the Joint Committe on Taxation (PDF) and handwritten note (H/t: IUSB vision, Politico, Drudge 11/6/09)

U.S. CODE TITLE 26 – INTERNAL REVENUE CODE: 26 USC Sec. 7201 Attempt to evade or defeat tax Any person who willfully attempts in any manner to evade or defeat any tax imposed by this title or the payment thereof shall, in addition to other penalties provided by law, be guilty of a felony and, upon conviction thereof, shall be fined not more than $100,000 ($500,000 in the case of a corporation), or imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both, together with the costs of prosecution.

New Tax Hikes (Americans for Tax Reform (ATR))
• Individual Mandate Surtax (Page 296): about 2.5% of gross income
• Medicine Cabinet Tax (Page 324) for Non-prescription medications
• Excise Tax on Medical Devices (Page 339)
• $2500 Cap on Flexible Spending Accounts (Page 325): (currently uncapped)
• 20% additional tax on Non-Qualified HSA Distributions (Page 326)
• Surtax on Individuals and Small Businesses (Page 336): This would raise the top marginal tax rate in 2011 from 39.6% under current law to 45%—a new effective top rate.
• Denial of Tax Deduction for Employer Health Plans Coordinating with Medicare Part D (Page 327):
This would further erode private sector participation in delivery of Medicare services.
• 1099-MISC forms to be issued to corporations as well as persons for trade, exchange of property or business payments (Page 344)
• Up to 8% Employer Mandate Excise Tax (Page 275)
• Delays for 9 years the Worldwide Allocation of Interest (a corporate tax relief) (Page 345)
• Increases taxes on U.S. employers with overseas operations looking to avoid double taxation of earnings (Page 346)
• Empowers the IRS to disallow a perfectly legal tax deduction (Page 349)
• Raises standards on penalties on Publicly-traded partnerships and corporations with annual gross receipts in excess of $100 million (Page 357)

More negative items (GOP, Mike Pence)
• RAISES TAXES ON MIDDLE CLASS FAMILIES
• MASSIVE CUTS TO MEDICARE BENEFITS FOR SENIORS
• NO PROTECTIONS FOR SMALL BUSINESSES ON 8% PENALTY
• INCREASES THE COST OF HEALTH INSURANCE:
New $2 billion tax on insurance policies will be passed on to patients, changes to the Medicare.
• USES GIMMICKS TO HIDE BUDGET-BUSTING COST, PILES UP DEBT ON FUTURE GENERATIONS. Democrats have simply swept costly provisions under the rug, including the $245 billion ‘doc fix.’
• IMPOSES JOB-KILLING EMPLOYER MANDATES
According to the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), the nation’s largest small business association, an employer mandate of this magnitude will disproportionately impact small businesses, triggering up to 1.6 million lost jobs. Two-thirds of those jobs would be shed by small businesses.
• FAVORS GOVERNMENT-RUN INSURANCE COMPANY
The bill provides billions in start-up funding for the government-run plan, and while it requires the plan to repay the money over time it does not require the plan to pay interest on this “loan.” This interest-free, taxpayer-subsidized loan is potentially worth millions of dollars and tilts the playing field in favor of the government-run plan.
• THREATENS CASH-STRAPPED STATES WITH UNFUNDED MANDATES by expanding Medicaid eligibility. Medicaid is financed through a federal-state partnership, but the bill dumps nearly 10% of the mandated expansion included in the bill onto the states.
• CREATES A NEW MONSTROSITY IN THE TAX CODE
Starting in 2011, Speaker Pelosi’s health care bill imposes a 5.4% tax on adjusted gross income above $500,000 for individuals ($1 million for married couples). Yet, the dollar amounts for which the tax kicks in are not indexed for inflation.
