It is FALSE. The American Sportfishing Association put out a press release debunking the rumor of the excise tax

Thank you. Maybe some here will believe you.

Putting aside the cost, and the mandates for a moment. The biggest failure of Obama Care is that is really didn't do anything to address the rising cost of health care. That is one of those countries biggest problems moving forward and Obama seem more interested in getting his "ideals" passed instead of genuine reform. The country was promised reform that was going to lower costs, and instead we got something much different.

This is just how IDIOT liberals explain it though.........tax health care to REDUCE the cost of health care.

How in the HELL does taxing the products used in health care delivery actually reduce the cost of anything.

Do you think that 2.3% will magically be absorbed by the "system".........

Need a wheelchair....fine BTW....here is an additional 2.3% ON top of what you already paid for it.
Need that o2 machine...fine, but be sure to pay an additional 2.3%.
Need some knees......fine but each one will cost you an additional 2.3%

JUST how did the cost of health care go down...PLEASE explain this new creative math to me...

IMHO there is nothing wrong with allowing a discussion to evolve and flow. That's how many good discussions often get started..

Started out that way but a simple search proved it wrong. The point is a new tax and healthcare now....come on man keep up!

Its a conditioned reflex sort of thing.Say the word tax, and it begins, no thought involved.First the leader responds, then the echos start.

WRONG..........it is a tax that hardly anyone knew about, and MOST would have never voted for had they knew about it.




You guys don't GET IT.......never will. They are sucking the very life out of this country. YOU had better wake up.

Oh I get it plenty good! Let me tell you a little story of a lady that I go to church with. She has been sick for a while now and she has medicare and her only source of income is SS. She told me this morning after she paid all her bills and what she could to doctors she had six dollars left. I know she should have saved while working is what you say! There are 330 million people in the usa and not every one of them can save like some and I just cant help it if I feel like I can pay a little more to help so be it. I cant bring myself to just say the hell with everyone less fortunate than me! I hear alot of ppl say they would rather the gov let them keep their money and save for any ailments they may have on their own. A few could but I dont think anyone here could ever save enough if you should have something drastic happen and need alot of treatment. A friend of mine had a child in icu for 2 months and that was a cool million which he could never pay in his lifetime so how would you guys go about paying for such a situation?

I have no problem with that little old lady collecting her social security and then some. She lived in a time when TIMES were good and she was PROMISED being taken care of.

I have HUGE problems paying for the welfare momma with 8 kids livin in the projects, who refuses to work, all the while laying on her back poppin out more welfare kids. White, black, yellow, purple, green, WHATEVER color....those folks DISGUST me, and we have more of those now than ever before.

THAT handout needs to end....PERIOD. I'd advocate forced sterilization in that case.....Man and WOMAN.

We have made it way too easy for people to LIVE off the system that was supposed to be a helping hand. And our current president has made the transition to welfare CRACKWHORE that much easier by extending unemployment for 3-4-5, 10, 20 years...........OK I know it has not been extended that long, but you get my drift.

We simply cannot continue down this path. When that little old woman was promised these benefits, there were 12 workers for every 1 person on Social Security. Now, we're at about 5-6 for every 1 person. That my friends is a formula for failure. Until the politicians step up and say ENOUGH, we will never fix it.

It is not rocket science.....Hell, even a CAVEMAN could understand that simple math.
