New Obamacare Rule Uses Term “Shared Responsibility Payments” 63 Times Instead of Tax…




Hmmm, now why would Obama not want to call it a tax?

Via Daily Caller:


The Internal Revenue Service’s (IRS) final rule on Obamacare’s individual mandate, released this week, uses the term “Shared Responsibility Payments” 63 times to describe the mandate’s non-compliance penalty, which the Supreme Court in 2012 defined as a tax.

The 75-page rule published by the IRS, which is tasked with enforcing Obamacare as the law is fully implemented in 2014, is entitled “Shared Responsibility Payment for Not Maintaining Minimum Essential Coverage.”

While the Obama administration originally pitched the individual mandate as a penalty, not a tax, Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts ruled in June 2012 that Obamacare is only constitutional because the individual mandate is technically a tax.

Using the term “shared responsibility payment” to refer to what was legally defined as a tax might constitute an act of dishonesty on the part of the Obama administration, according to one expert

June 2003, the U-6 was 10.6%. Not one Republican anywhere talked about the U-6. It basically didn't exist. Then when Obama was elected they immediately decided it was actually always all about the U-6 and it's what we really need to be talking about.

NOW THEY TELL US: National Journal: Obama’s Affordable Care Act Looking a Bit Unaffordable: Independent National Journal analysis finds premiums higher under Obamacare as employers weigh dropping coverage. “Republicans have long blamed President Obama’s signature health care initiative for increasing insurance costs, dubbing it the ‘Unaffordable Care Act.’ Turns out, they might be right.”

Do tell.

Investors have been concerned about the way in which unemployment has been measured since the 1994 shift.

It is unsatisfactory to remove people from the headline figure if they got discouraged.

If investors are "concerned", why has the stock market been climbing for the past 5 years?

Your conjecture does not seem to be supported by facts.

your boyfriend is the one that stood up for ken, time and time again, the one who was friends with him on facebook, and the one that cybered him.

I mean, that makes him gay in the same way that his relationship with you makes him gay.

Which of course, is ok. I just hope the two of you can finally have a happy life together, because you've clearly been so miserable up until this point.

I'm glad that the internet could bring you together. Now that prop 8 has been overturned, the two of you can finally be together in a more meaningful capacity.

According to the fucking chart you posted, unemployment started fucking increasing in April 2007, during fucking Bush's second fucking term.

AFL-CIO Chief Richard Trumka: “We Made Some Mistakes” Writing Obamacare…




So he’s admitting the unions helped write Obamacare? That would explain why it has been such a train wreck to implement.

Via The Hill:


AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka on Thursday said “mistakes” were made in the writing of ObamaCare.

“It still needs to be tweaked,” said Trumka, who pointed to the possibility that union members will lose their health insurance because of the inability of some union plans to qualify for federal tax subsidies.

“ObamaCare is a major step in the right direction but yeah, I said, we made some mistakes,” Trumka told reporters at a Christian Science Monitor breakfast.

“We have been working with the administration to find solutions to the inadvertent holes in the act,” Trumka said. “We are working to try solve problems, just like they tried to solve problems with employers, with large business and small business groups.”

He compared labor’s effort to win concessions on the health plans to business’s successful effort to convince the law’s mandate that certain employers offer health insurance for a year.

So let's go ahead and use the flawed piece of crap.
