Why would the government include $6 billion in fines as part of payment for the new health care plan

Why would the government include $6 billion in fines as part of payment for the new health care plan?
That's a ton of fines for Americans. Don't think that is constitutional. How sad a person will have to decide between feeding their children or buying health care they cannot afford. Thanks spock and DAR I just remembered that the employers may be payiing a ton of it, but since they haven't even taken the time to figure out a half way concrete number it must not matter. I am glad Sen. Hatch has fired on it.

Because they know millions won't be able to afford the more expensive premiums, that is why they lowered the penalty and removed the criminal part. It is just going to be a different group not insured, particularly those over 50 but not yet on medicare.

Sen. Orrin Hatch [R-Utah and member of the Senate Finance committee], writing in yesterday's Investor's Business Daily, points out that independent legal researchers concluded that such fines are not permitted by the Constitution. Neither is mandatory health insurance. Nor can high cost health insurance policies be taxed or penalized unless low cost ones are similarly taxed. seems to me that the Democrats are itching to have their precious bill tossed by the Supreme Court.

The government include $6 billion in fines as part of payment for the new health care plan because to many people the fine cost less than the healthcare. Therefore the poor will still be without healthcare.

This is what those slim clintons proposed years ago, and people actually cut back on employees. So even though that b@tch did not get elected, she is working behind the scenes, she is a real commie..
