| Description | ObamaCare won’t just raise taxes on the rich, and impose tax penalties on people without approved health-insurance plans. It will also dramatically change tax laws so that “taxpayers will be fined for honest mistakes,” explains prominent New York tax lawyer James M. Peaslee. That’s true even if the mistake resulted from a confusing tax rule, and the taxpayer “tried in good faith to comply with the law.”
(Keep in mind that the health-care bill backed by Obama is over 1,000 pages long, and some of its most prominent supporters have ridiculed the notion that they themselves should read the bill before voting on it).
FactCheck.Org says that Obama is not telling the truth about whether abortion would be subsidized by the health-care bills he backs: “Despite what Obama said, the House bill would allow abortions to be covered by a federal plan and by federally subsidized private plans.”
Obama is also lying about whether ObamaCare will cover illegal aliens. While illegal aliens are exempt from the fines and tax penalties contained in ObamaCare, even though U.S. citizens are not, illegal aliens can access ObamaCare’s benefits since the Congressional sponsors of ObamaCare have blocked ways of checking on whether participants are illegal aliens. |
