If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it costs when it’s free.

—— P.J. O’Rourke

       While the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are stationed at 737 bases, in 130 nations around the world, defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” Democratic (socialist/fascist) de facto President Obama (either a natural born subject of the United Kingdom enclave of Kenya, or a natural born resident of the republic of Hawaii), signs the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (a.k.a. “Obamacare” (a.k.a. “Romneycare”)), requiring all United states subject/enemy/citizens to sign up for health insurance, or pay a penalty to the Internal Revenue Service.

       NOTES:

• Section .9006 of the ACA levies a tax on the “sale” (redemption) of gold Coins (lawful Money).
• To help fund the program, the act created a new Federal sales tax of 3.8% on all home sales.

       Postscript: Four years later 75% of all U.s. subject/enemy/citizens who signed up for “Obamacare” saw their insurance premiums increase.
