I was mostly responding to the comment, which was about the income tax rates.
That said, while some of the HCR provisions resulted in new limits and exemptions on tax-free HSA/FSA accounts and the like, there really isn't a new "health care" tax.
Some of the other items on the list, like the AMT thing, has little to do with the current administration - it's a perennial issue that Congress "fixes" every year. (Which isn't to say that it's not a problem that they should just address one way or another, but it's silly to blame the AMT on anything new from Obama - it happens every single freaking year).
A few of the other items are downright laughable - they're expirations of temporary tax cuts or programs that were part of the stimulus (the stimulus that, FWIW, most conservatives opposed).
