It is being covered by all the major media as best I can tell, I heard it on the radio, ABC affiliate.

Would you mind if I asked for a link on this? I'm curious about it.

I have seen this on every news site with the exception of Yahoo.news (no surprise there). You can go to any number of places to read up on the details, abcnews.com definitely is covering it, I did look there and found it. I am certain that foxnews.com is bound to be on it as well but I have not specifically checked there.

and now our health insurance has gone from fourty eight hundred up to ninety two hundred dollars per year.  There has to be a better way to cover the masses without doubling my premiums.

WOAH seriously? Why is that? Did you have another kid or get terribly injured or something?

I'm not sure how I feel.  I do know that the insurance industry is changing anyway and insurance is costing everyone more money.  Prescription costs continue to increase.  Many cannot even get insurance.  If we continue the way things are, I fear more will go uninsured causing financial problems for hospitals who have to treat people who show up at the emergency room.  We all pay the price for the uninsured.  What's the answer?   I don't know, but I do know that things will continue to change for the worse it seems regardless.

Here is a real shocker!! Today it was announced that the IRS (tax folks) were selecting out certain tax exempt allplications for 'special consideration'. Those that were getting this special attention were organizations with certain words or indicators in their names, such as Patriot, or Tea Party, or any number of things that they deemed them to be 'conservative' or 'anti-Obama'... how do you like that? Regardless of your political views, this is nothing short of criminal and an absolute abuse of power/authority being exercised for political reasons!! It is an outrage... now the good part is that this same IRS is THE designate 'enforcer' that is to assure YOU actively take part in The Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare)... how does that settle with ya? grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I think this is what jmccaskill was talking about: http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/irs-apologizes-for-inappropriately-targeting-conservative-political-groups-in-2012-election/2013/05/11/ea5d5790-ba0e-11e2-b568-6917f6ac6d9d_story.html

Although that report was about investigating the tax exempt status of these groups and not about the compliance with the Affordable Care Act, it is scary to think that the IRS would do something politically motivated like that, and the new health care taxes will just give the IRS even more ammunition to use.

Well if the IRS did do something like this, I can guess it is not short of the many CEO's who sent out memos that they would (fire) or release a employee of their job for voting one way or another. So to speculate that this has something to do with The Plan Obama set out for HealthCare ( which I still think calling it (ObamaCare is radical) When people attach words like (cover up) or ammunition etc.. tend to put a person's mind in overdrive of thinking omg something is wrong. In my thoughts one has nothing to do with the other.

To clairfy the issue here with the IRS misconduct; my point was the the IRS is THE enforcment arm to assure that everyone complaies with the mandates of Obama's Affordable Care Act. They, the IRS, are scheduled to hire an additional 16,000 agents to act in this capacity. Furthermore, they will be collecting your personal data in all manner of ways that in some peoples opinion the government in any capacity has no right to have much less act on. Again, this whole health care issue is just another method of geovernment control over its citizens and has nothing to do with what it is touted to be. I cannot find, and I have looked carefully, ONE benefit to be found in this law, and it IS law now, it is not something that MIGHT happen! It is time to either repeal this law or re-create it in a form that will work as it is very obvious that as it is currently it is truly a massive unworkable train wreck.

I think it is completely unconstitutional and we are headed for a one-world government! Two thumbs down!
