OT

a letter from the non-partisan Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) confirming that the failure to comply with the individual mandate to buy health insurance contained in the Pelosi health care bill (H.R. 3962, as amended) could land people in jail. The JCT letter makes clear that Americans who do not maintain “acceptable health insurance coverage” and who choose not to pay the bill’s new individual mandate tax (generally 2.5% of income), are subject to numerous civil and criminal penalties, including criminal fines of up to $250,000 and imprisonment of up to five years.

Gives bend over and cough a WHOLE new meaning!!

It’s been established that people who are unable to buy insurance will be given subsidies or a waiver. The only way to end up in jail is to be able to afford insurance but not buy it and then refuse to pay the fine.
