I've heard from CPAs that have studied the law that Obamacare mostly seems to just be a series of taxes disguised as a healthcare law.

- couchand 13y agoI think you have it backwards. Because certain political elements didn't want to grant the authority to raise new fees, other political elements wrote the law under the existing authority to raise taxes. There's no disguise, it's openly taxes because that was the achievable goal.
- greendata 13y agoI would add it's a series of taxes directed at the self-employed. If you work for a large company or for the state/federal government you'll have insurance already. If you're unemployed, you'll qualify for a subsidy or medicare. The self-employed are already paying double in medicaid and social security (I know employers pay half for the employed but it still discourages self-employment).
