Just read the tax code for 2014, the first year of mandatory health
insurance. I was expecting to find a check box or something asking if we
had health care insurance. No. Instead the IRS calls it a 'Shared
Responsibility Payment'. Isn't that just rich. The IRS is telling us
what? That if we don't have health coverage, and don't cave in to
subsidizing the insurance industry, we're creeps not willing to take
responsibility leaving widows and orphans out in the street with no
medical coverage. They make it sound like it's all our fault and not the
lack of tort reform or something. Remember when Clinton tried to get
health care through in the nineties. 'Tort reform' was the culprit.
Plus the medical industry is so regulated, sued, and sidled with through
the roof insurance rates, that hey, it's not their fault. It's our fault
for not making our 'Shared Responsibility Payment'.
You know life is tough enough, for some of us who are not on the
government dole. We're not superior people like all those elected
liberals who don't have to read 2800 pages to know what's in it. We have
to sweat for our money. What's a few hundred for health insurance each
month when these poor politicians must figure out a way to spend trillions
of dollars to keep our economy afloat. I mean if some looser can't afford
to buy health care insurance he/she/it are just plain not responsible
people, things, he, she, it. I don't know. They got a new rule for that
too, I think. It's not their fault they have to eat each month and pay
the light bill. They're leeches who aren't willing to share in the
responsibility the rest of us socialists are behind one hundred percent.
What's the difference? 'Shared Responsibility Payment' is just a way for
the federal government to let you know they care.
How'd they ever come up with that phrase. Wouldn't it have been
better if they could have just been straight with us. Something like
'potential tax felon, checkbox or 'dirt wad looser work sheet'.
Imagine for a minute being there when they voted on the phrase:
"Item five thousand four hundred and forty three; 'Health insurance
check box label'.
"Let's call it 'scofflaw deviant'."
"No we have to speak on their level. I mean the average intellect
is sixth grade for the American public isn't it? We gotta put a spin on
it. How about 'you're mama didn't raise no looser' tag."
"Haw haw." They all laugh.
"Hey. Just put a check box on there asking if they have
insurance. It's going to be checked against the database anyway. Have
some faith in people."
"Harvey! Who let you in here. What do you think this is, a
customer care center or something. I know. Let's make people think
they're unpatriotic if they don't buy health insurance. How about
something like 'insurance duty fee'."
"Sounds good, but I think we ought let people get on-board and take
possession of the law. We'll call it 'Health Insurance Mandatory Group
Payment'.
"Health Insurance? Naw. To much media. People might actually
know what you're talking about. I like the guilty part though. Make them
think they're a drag on society if they don't pay. How about instead of
Health Insurance we call it Shared Responsibility. Leave the mandatory
part out."
"Yea, I like it. Everybody? How about a vote? ... It's
unanimous.
Okay onto item 6,743, the 'Air You Breath adjustment' ..."
They couldn't have chose a better name. How about if they were
just straight up about it and called it 'Potential Tax Felon', or 'Dirt
Wad Looser.' Check the box on line 61, Future Tax Felon, NO, if you don't
have insurance.
Have you ever worked in the fields, dug a ditch, slung drywall, mopped
floors, gave customer service, cleaned toilets, etc? I don't know. It
can be scarry out there for the millions of us who are living pay check to
pay check and even worse for many who are less than a paycheck beyond the
pull date. And then the feds come in and tell use we have to spend
hundreds of dollars a month for an over priced, afraid to move, torted,
regulated up the ying yang medical industry to buy over priced health
insurance. Of course when you're the federal government you're spending
trillions so whats a few hundred a month if some looser can't afford
health care. He/she/it are not responsible. A leech who's not willing to
share in the responsibility the rest of us socialistic communists are
behind one hundred percent.

What's the difference. 'Shared Responsibility Payment' is just a
way of the federal government showing how much they care. You're a looser
if you don't let the welfare state, the USA, take charge and tell you how
to live your life. Wouldn't you have liked to have been in on the
committee meeting that decided on that title. It might have gone
something like this:
"Item five thousand for hundred and forty three; 'Health insurance
check box label'.
"Let's call it 'scofflaw deviant'."
"No we have to speak down to the American public. I mean the
average intellect is sixth grade? They won't understand it unless you put
a spin on it. I know. How about 'you're mama didn't raise no looser'
tag."
"Haw haw." They all laugh.

"Health Insurance? Naw. To much media. Plus there are a lot of
different types of insurance. I like the guilty part though. Make them
think they're a drag on society if they don't pay. How about instead of

part out."
