>>>*Another interesting thing that just cropped up. Before the ACA, should a person suffer a major illness or injury, with no insurance their assets, such as a home, bank accounts etc, were subject to being taken to cover the bill.

Through legal actions of course, but nontheless, that happened. It happened to a good friend, his $8000 hospital bill cost him his family home, inherited from his parents and owned by the family for generations. Worth over $200K, how much did my friend receive from the sale?

Not one dime, it sold at auction and there were all of those "fees, back interest, management and legal costs." Yes, they took his home and forced him out, taking a $200K home to pay an $8000.00 bill!

Now some would say, just borrow the money. OK. Try that sometime when in this situation, no job, no income, ongoing illness? Nope, just a paid for house, an asset.



NOW, under Obamacare (AKA the "Affordable Care Act") that won't happen through the legal system, it will be the IRS that shows up to attach your bank account, paycheck, home, anything of value.

The idea of course is to force the public to pay the bill. Will the result be any better? Check on how the IRS operates and find your answer. Yes, in this situation,the ACA IS a tax, it is only a fee when it meets some OTHER legal requirement, this according to the US Supreme Court!!

You have a bank account? THEY have that info. A home? THEY have that info. Your personal information, such as the much discussed Social Security number? THEY have that info!

Already that information IS being shared, with no real efforts that I can see to protect it.

The real goal of this act appears to be exactly what I suspected, so many people were not paying any taxes that this is one way to make sure they do, and using the IRS means they have total control over everything we own, at any time they wish to use that information.

This bill is far bigger than just who pays for health care, at least in MHO and for the dab that is worth..It is..REVENUE!!...*EB
