Here’s an interesting twist I haven’t heard from the TV pundits …
Under ObamaCare, everybody has to buy health insurance — even healthy folks who want to opt out.
If you don’t have health insurance, you get fined … most recently, I heard that the fine has been pared down to $250 annually.
How will it be enforced ?
Well, the bill adds over 15,000 IRS agents to police it.
[Analytical note: that means that the new agents have to nail about 6 million scofflaws each year just to cover their comp & benefits … each agent will have to find and nail about one each day]
This morning, I heard a Congressional shill say that each year — as part of the 1040 process — people will be asked if they are in compliance with law and have health insurance.
If they answer yes, they are asked to provide substantiation.
If they answer no, they have to pay the fine.
Isn’t that self-incrimination? Isn’t that protected by the 5th amendment ?
If this process works ok for ObamaCare, why not extend it to other areas of the law ?
For example, ask people if they have complied with all speed limits when driving. If they self-incriminate, fine ’em.
Maybe ObamaCare has uncovered a whole new way to raise revenues and offset the deficit …
