Local time where you're at. ("Where you're at"?)

Y’know, Denizens, if the mob were doing this, it would be called a shakedown.

Americans who refuse to buy affordable medical coverage could be hit with fines of more than $1,000 under a health care overhaul bill unveiled Thursday by key Senate Democrats looking to fulfill President Barack Obama’s top domestic priority.

The Congressional Budget Office estimated the fines will raise around $36 billion over 10 years. Senate aides said the penalties would be modeled on the approach taken by Massachusetts, which now imposes a fine of about $1,000 a year on individuals who refuse to get coverage. Under the federal legislation, families would pay higher penalties than individuals.

Yeah, well, that’s MassaChewsShits, where the numerous oxygen wasters keep sending a murderer back to the Senate, every six years, and a war “veteran” whose only contribution to the effort was to shoot a fleeing Vietnamese in the back.&#160 You can piss on their backs, tell them it’s raining and they’ll not have the balls to challenge you on it.

In a revamped health care system envisioned by lawmakers, people would be required to carry health insurance just like motorists must get auto coverage now. The government would provide subsidies for the poor and many middle-class families, but those who still refuse to sign up would face penalties.

Called “shared responsibility payments,” the fines would be set at least half the cost of basic medical coverage, according to the legislation.

Presumably, the IRS will be conducting these Fourth Amendment-violating searches for those insurance deadbeats.&#160 They force you to prove you’re in a qualifying (read:&#160 approved by Obambi) plan, and if not – boom! fine!!!

I for one can’t think of a better reason to see about refusing to pay my taxes, can you?

Mark my words – most Congresscritters who vote for this will be forced out of office.

One way or another, and by any means necessary.
