Internet rumor........the TAX is true, applying is was false but the TAX is legit.

It is a **** shame that there are folks all over the country still thinking ObamaCare is the savior.

You realize the stop gap fund is out of money,

You also realize the CBO underestimated the cost of ObamaCare by as much as 50%

You also realize that CMS cut Medicare reimbursements by 700 BILLION to pay for ObamaCare.

YOU also realize that DR's all over the country hate it......

YOU ALSO REALIZE that the "gold" versions of ObamaCare actually cost more and deliver LESS than what I actually have through my insurance company....Yea.....LOOK IT UP.

Yea, it's a rumor all right..........too **** bad the Obamunists have LIED every step of the way with regards to this new a better bull **** idea of health care........

WOW.
