The more folks find out about it, the less they like it. No wonder BO wanted to fast-track a "reform" proposal.
Sen. John Ensign, a Nevada Republican, got an interesting
handwritten note last week from the chief of staff of Congress' Joint Committee on Taxation. Tom Barthold told Ensign that an American who did not buy health care insurance or pay the fee — up to $1,900 — that is required from those who opt out would find themselves in deep trouble with the government.
"Violators could be charged with a misdemeanor and could face up to a year in jail or a $25,000 penalty, Barthold wrote on JCT letterhead," Politico reported.
The gulags appear to be not all that far off.
