Why Tax Medical Devices

Question: Why does the Health Care bill (HR 3962) contain these terrible provisions?
Why does the Health Care bill (currently HR 3962) contain provisions that:
- tax people who do not have "adequate" insurance (SEC. 501)
- tax people who have "high incomes" (SEC 551)
- tax medical devices (SEC 552)
- tax self-insured plans (chapter 34)- prohibit the sale of new private insurance after the year 2013 (Sectio...n 202(c)(1))
- use your money to pay for abortions (SEC 222 (e) (3))
- allow members of Congress to not have to buy insurance under the bill (SEC 330)
Answer: Good question. My opinion is that they are deliberately trying to dismantle the Constitution and phase us into a Big Brother police state. The federal government does NOT have the right to mandate Americans to buy goods or services. In this economy, most people can't even afford to pay for food, much less healthcare or expensive fines!! Fining people who do not have "adequate" insurance is simply a way to smack down those who are rebelling against their government take-over. And what they deem a "high income" is most likely a middle class salary. They're socking it to self-insured plans because they don't like independent, self-governing people-- and they want healthcare to be a government run monopoly (which should scare the crap out of everyone). The abortion thing is twisted, but it doesn't surprise me as they are always looking for ways to reduce the population.
