Okay, I own a house that I rent. I sit down with my accountant and he says your taxes will be X with this new HC thing. I tell my accountant to raise the rent X to cover the tax. How am I now paying the tax?

I have been through this argument many times, renters pay taxes on the properties they rent, it is part of the rent, just like sales tax is part of what you pay for goods, or fuel tax is paid at the pump.
Just because you do not get the actual bill does not mean you do not pay the tax.
