Under Obama’s Health Care: If you Don’t Sign up, You’ll be Taxed AND Go to Jail?

Gotta Sharps Rifle that says otherwise.

umm, we do have all these czars also, so this is just another blatant attempt to rule over the little people. vote all of these jerks out.

When gas prices rose a couple of years back, people were unable to pay their mortgages which threw the banking system into crisis. Now people may be unable to pay their mortgages again because of the threat of going to jail as a consequence of not paying constitutionally unauthorized healthcare insurance mandated by the corrupt federal government.

On the other hand…

US Citizens DESERVE to tremble in their boots at the thought of fines and jail time as a consequence of not paying federally mandated health insurance. The problem is that citizens have evidently not been teaching the federal Constitution and its history to their children for many generations. Otherwise, citizens would be able to stop the Oval Office and corrupt Congress dead in their tracks with Obamacare by pointing out the following.

Given that the federal Constitution is silent about public healthcare, the 10th Amendment automatically reserves government power to regulate and lay taxes for healthcare to the states, not the Oval Office and Congress.

In fact, Chief Justice Marshall had established the following case precedent, now wrongly ignored, which appropriately limits the power of the feds to lay taxes.

“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” –Chief Justice Marshall, GIBBONS V. OGDEN (1824) http://supreme.justia.com/us/22/1/case.html

So not only is misguided Obama’s proposed healthcare constitutionally unauthorized, but based on Justice Marshall’s official words, the corrupt Congress never had the power to lay taxes to fund such programs in the first place.

What’s going on is that state sovereignty-ignorant voters have been electing lawmakers to both the state legislatures and the federal senate who are as state sovereignty-impaired as the voters are. Consequently, these lawmakers have not been doing their jobs to protect state sovereignty by protecting citizens from illegal federal taxes and unconstitutional federal government interference in their lives as exemplified by proposed Obamacare.

Finally, the following link should help give people an idea as to how state sovereignty-ignorant voters have shot themselves in the foot with big, corrupt federal government as a consequence of the ill-conceived, anti-state sovereignty 16th and 17th Amendments.

possibly do jail time

Untrue. It’s just like it is here in California. You get a ticket and you could get your license suspended. No where in the Iowa Vehicle Code does it say jail time for only driving without insurance.

PyroCreep, go here for a copy of the Memo that Sen. Ensign received.
I did not see any Iowa or first Offender exemption but it is on Joint Committee on Taxation letterhead and signed. The IRS is pretty ruthless but has been known to cut deals.

Okay Old Trooper, you made a good point. Still, I can’t see why a person would NOT want health coverage on himself and his family if it were mad affordable for all. Tax or no tax.

No one wants the MEDICARE cuts and in addition the punitive “Taxation” that is proposed.
No one in America wants a lesser quality of care for additional taxation that will be irresponsibly imposed by an unresponsive Government that so far has proven itself unable to run a Taxpayer funded Lemonade stand and break even. No one should go to prison for not buying into a Government Boondoggle Health Care Plan. Read the 10th Amendment to the US Constitution.

Iowa sets its Own Insurance requirements according to Law. So do other States for ALL Coverages.

The Baucus Bill and HR 3200 will be punitive and offer less care for a prohibitive cost. Baucus is my Senator and I have never voted for him. Grassley is yours and I would be proud to vote for him. Health Care is too important to be rushed or pushed. It is a lifeline and 1/6th of the Economy.
What has been proposed is unacceptable. What is proposed is not affordable for most of America. Look at the CBO figures and tell me who is lying to you.

Illegal aliens are the ones that should be in jail, If they can be illegal why not everyone else? Seems to me Americans could have civil rights violation to look into.

I think the stuff hasn’t even com close to hitting the fan. There is a rush right now with Gun Stores, because of JUST this very health care/jail thing. This is going to be one of the worst ever erosions of freedom we have so far seen. What if you do it three times, that is fail to pay and go to jail, what then …three strikes your out, prison time for life? You can damn sure bet that there is a very large contingent that are arming themselves, stockpileing weapons and ammo and whatnots. This in my estimation will be obama’s undoing big time, once the first arrest for not having insurance hits the airwaves/news. Then it WILL be us verses them, theres not much other responce available. A man with a gun is a citizen, a man without a gun is a subject, or didn’t you see that coming? Next on the agenda is the second amendment rights, and with about 200,000,000 million, yes two hundered million people that have arms, figure this one out. the black market sells all manner of illegal things, whats so special about ammo? It will take Patriots to secure freedom I believe, not the military or the law enforcement ie. them, it will take us to secure said freedom….botom line, and theres been many doind just that…..its called the zombie thing, for those not aware…. I’m outraged with this turn of events, you should be too. It’s not that we dont need some sort of health care system, its the imprisonment thing that will not fly. I guarenteeee.
