as a tax....this is gonna be weird until it's all sorted.


Yeah right!
Right now as it stands what i pay for health care is tax deductible...so is this a tax that is tax deductable?

From what I understand, what was upheld was the tax that is enforced if you do not buy insurance. The "individual mandate". So the tax comes into play when you are not paying for health care directly.

At least it wasn't upheld under the guise of interstate commerce. Interstate commerce is misused and abused enough as it is.

My sales, property, and excise taxes are deductible.

So since when has the president ever had the authority to create a tax????

Now they've shit on another part of our constitution.
The supremes are proving they are not concerned with constitutional law.



Did you miss the parts where the House and Senate passed the law?

Sure. Credits if on welfare.

I'm curious to see the situation like this:

My typical out of pocket costs on insurance that currently costs me over $200 / month for family coverage (a portion of that after taxes as well) - can easily be $5000/year.

So if I'm on welfare and getting insurance through the government....who pays the out of pocket costs?

Someone on welfare sure as hell won't.

This is the rationale (very, very simplified):

Congress has the power to impose a tax. Congress also has the power to give you a credit against that tax if you do something (like buy health care). So you can purchase health care or pay the tax. Your choice.

The fact that it wasn't worded as a tax doesn't make it not a tax. (Actually, it does for the purpose of the Injunction Act because of the wording of that Act, but it doesn't when you ask the question "does Congress have the power to do this?").

I recall Doc Kallend making the point a few months back that it was effectively a tax. The Supremes agreed with him.

No refunds????
:o


I want to see how much credit I will get for the amount of insurance I'm currently buying. Plus the general insurance fund contribution for that matter.



I think maybe you should read the provisions of the act before asking irrelevant questions. I'm going to guess that all you've read is lying GOP propaganda.
