Starting to find out a little more as we go along.

Little-Known Health Care Law Provision Is a Budget Buster, Critics Say
March 26, 2010

While Congress spent the last year debating how to provide health insurance for the uninsured, a little-known provision slipped into the heath care law that could cost some Americans upwards of $2,000 a year.

The Congressional Budget Office expects the government will collect $109 billion in premiums by 2019.

Nunes says Republicans were blindsided by the provision because they were unable to see the final bill until the very end.

Scheduled to go into effect in January, actual deductions could take place in 2012.

Here's how the program will work:

-- The federal government will approach employers next year about alerting workers to the proposed deduction.

-- The deduction will work on a sliding scale based on age. Younger workers will be charged less, older workers more. The Congressional Budget Office pegged the average monthly deduction at $146. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services put it higher, at $240.

-- After a five-year vesting period, enrollees who need help bathing, eating or dressing will be eligible to take out benefits, estimated to be around $75 a day for in-home care.

Actually, in the greater context of things, I am in favor of what Obama is doing. He is waging war on America itself, working to demolish the American way of life and the American dream. What's funny to me are all the people who are surprised about it . . . he's only doing what he said he would!

The American way of life, absent the God-fearing morals of the pilgrims and founders, and absent the Puritan work ethic, has become based on materialism, lust, idolatry, hedonism, and greed. 80% of Americans self-identify as "Christians." 4% of Americans are capable of demonstrating basic Bible literacy.

If we think God is still inspired to bless America and all we Americans do, we're only fooling ourselves.

When Americans await their daily bread in Soviet-style bread lines, they might become ready to turn their hearts back toward God.

Re: Senate Passes Health Care Bill.....

How in the world did they come up with this one?

Tanning Tax -- 10 percent excise tax on indoor tanning services.
