Ten Things You May Not Know About ObamaCare
Republicans Utilize American Discontent For ObamCare To Help Win In 2012
Republicans with their eyes on the White House in 2012 spoke to hundreds of conservatives today in Iowa emphasizing that Barack Obama’s health care plan could help make substantial gains in 2012.
“The ultimate arrogance, in my opinion, is Obama-care. That’s why I am so absolutely confident in 2012. Americans have made the decision that we’re going to take our country back.”
“We don’t like the radical socialist agenda that is being shoved down our throats.”
“It’s never gone below a majority of Americans who want to see Obama-care repealed. This is, I believe, the greatest power grab that I have ever seen.”
Michele Bachmann
I’ve mentioned it often on this blog and I’ll say it again, check out Health Care Compact on facebook. Nearly forty states are working toward this compact to avoid ObamaCare and HCC posts each day about the progress different states are making.

Ten Things You May Not Know About ObamaCare
- Since Jan. 1 of this year (2011), you cannot use your flex-account at work (FSA) or health savings account (HSA) to purchase over-the-counter medicines.
- Since July 1 of last year (2010), Americans have been paying a 10 percent excise tax on all indoor tanning services.
- Starting in 2018, if your health insurance is “too good” or considered a “Cadillac” plan, then you will incur a new 40 percent tax on your health plan.
- ObamaCare has 21 new or higher taxes in it, totaling over $500 billion in increased taxes going to the government over 10 years.
- Beginning in 2014, individuals and families that do not purchase “qualifying” -- as defined by federal bureaucrats -- health insurance will be forced to pay a yearly tax penalty.
- Seven tax hikes in ObamaCare directly break President Obama’s “firm pledge” not to raise any form of taxes on individuals making less than $200,000 per year and families making less than $250,000 per year.
- The capital gains tax rate under ObamaCare will rise to 23.8 percent starting in 2012. That is a 59 percent increase from its current rate.
- In 2013, those Americans facing the highest medical bills and the least ability to pay for them will find their ability to deduct medical expenses is further limited (medical expenses must be reduced by 10 percent of income under ObamaCare, rather than current law’s 7.5 percent).
- Beginning in 2014, businesses with over 50 employees will be forced to offer health coverage for everyone, or pay a hefty tax for each employee.
- In 2013, ObamaCare caps the amount individuals and families can put in their flexible savings accounts at $2500. Currently there is no cap and these accounts are used for a myriad of health expenses including paying upwards of $14,000 in tuition to special needs schools for some parents.
