Buy ObamaCare Or Go To Jail!

Politico has the details…

Americans who fail to pay the penalty for not buying insurance would face legal action from the Internal Revenue Service, according to the Joint Committee on Taxation.

The remarks Thursday from the committee’s chief of staff, Thomas Barthold, seems to further weaken President Barack Obama’scontention last week that the individual mandate penalty, which could go as high as $1,900, is not a tax increase.

Under questioning from Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.), Barthold said the IRS would “take you to court and undertake normal collection proceedings.”

Ensign pursued the line of questioning because he said a lot of Americans don’t believe the Constitution allows the government to mandate the purchase of insurance.

“We could be subjecting those very people who conscientiously, because they believe in the U.S. Constitution, we could be subjecting them to fines or the interpretation of a judge, all the way up to imprisonment,” Ensign said. “That seems to me to be a problem.”

Ensign’s argument , however, wasn’t persuasive to the committee — which rejected an amendment from Sen. Jim Bunning (R-Ky.) to eliminate the individual mandate.

This is a story that I’ve been following all day, and it really doesn’t come as a great surprise. The idea behind getting the IRS involved in health care only puts a bigger intimidation factor behind this issue.  Because of the Left’s desire to force all in society into a government run system, it will use government’s most intrusive agency to make all citizens submit.  This news being released now has to be devastating for the President and his cronies working for a government hijacking of the healthcare system because it reaffirms the notion that once society allows government to takeover something as consequential as the medical field, naturally Americans  surrender many of their individual liberties.
