good job guys!! glad you're living up to the expectations that you set during your campaign! Health care bill was awesome, wasn't? wait if it was so awesome, how come it doesn't apply to you? Or anyone else in Congress, at that? Or their staff? Hmmm.....
(D) MEMBERS OF CONGRESS IN THE EXCHANGE- (i) REQUIREMENT- Notwithstanding any other provision of law, after the effective date of this subtitle, the only health plans that the Federal Government may make available to Members of Congress and congressional staff with respect to their service as a Member of Congress or congressional staff shall be health plans that are– (I) created under this Act (or an amendment made by this Act); or (II) offered through an Exchange established under this Act (or an amendment made by this Act). Now, this is where the details kick in: (ii) DEFINITIONS- In this section: (I) MEMBER OF CONGRESS- The term `Member of Congress’ means any member of the House of Representatives or the Senate. (II) CONGRESSIONAL STAFF- The term `congressional staff’ means all full-time and part-time employees employed by the official office of a Member of Congress, whether in Washington, DC or outside of Washington, DC. |

at 11:20 PM, Friday April 9, 2010 EDT Hey alt. I don't see where you proved TCS wrong. What you said was that if you pay your health care and don't to go jail then "if" you need health care the money you have been FORCED to pay the gov will then be returned to you, "in theory."
Also you don't have to pay income tax if you don't want to. You just have to sent it to an acc and tell the IRS where it is (the exact amount of income tax you should pay the federal gov every year) and that you are not going to pay income tax. It's actually illegal to pay it but people forget that. The health care bill is furtherance of this travesty of income tax in the first place. |
