Pelosi Defends Fines

Did I just hear that right? Are we to believe this health care reform bill is preventing socialism? Besides, I thought the need for reform rested on a basic assumption that we were helping the unfortunate, not burdening them with further fines. Especially the kind that come directly out of your check, Americans haven’t been too fond of that method.

Reform includes a shared responsibility requirement, for those who dont already have insurance to either purchase affordable health insurance or pay a fee of 2.5 percent of their income so they are not driving up everyone elses health costs.

Who’s “Forcing” Who Now?

Oh, Senator Clinton wants what? To force people to buy healthcare? How dare she! Well, the President must be eating those words today. If you don’t know about the exorbitant fines and imprisonment included in this bill for those who fail to secure health insurance, this is a MUST SEE…

Jail & Fines in Pelosi’s Bill

Pelosi’s HR 3962 is 1,990 pages long. Due to the exhaustive length it has become necessary for most to resort to summaries. One decent summary you may want to look over was posted the day the bill passed in the House by New American, written by Joe Wolverton, II (11/07/09).

With ample page references, you can check the sources easily. I’m sure there are far more worrisome aspects of the bill that he fails to point out, due to time hopefully rather than censorship, but certainly the hefty fines and jail time for those who cannot afford a $15,000 policy are reason enough for most to be concerned.

“Misdemeanor willful failure to pay is punishable by a fine of up to $25,000 and/or imprisonment for up to one year.” For those really hardcore healthcare criminals, the punishment is a fine up to $250,000 and/or five years in jail. You’ve read it right. If the Health Care Commissioner decides your policy isn’t Pelosi-friendly and you don’t make the appropriate changes to it, then you may do time.

Bill Depends on Fines!

Pelosi’s Bill was passed last weekend (11/07/09) and many are wondering what exactly this means for America. Have we just demonstrated our humanitarian nature regarding one another, or have we just been duped once again into supporting policy which is against our best interest?

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s healthcare plan presumes that about 8-14 million American workers will pay fines rather than buy health insurance. Unless they do, there’s a $167-billion hole in her financing plan and everything falls apart.

Former Congressman Ernest Istook continues, saying:

For this group of uninsured, the Pelosi plan makes them pay a lot and get little or nothing.

This is not a “millionaire’s tax.” It’s a tax on the uninsured. According to The New York Times, these tend to be “the working poor.”
