One of the first bills ...* That statement is wrong. One of the first bills passed was the SCHIP bill which expanded insurance coverage to include more children. Cigarette taxes were raised. The insurance mandate is a tax raise on anyone who doesn't have health insurance, although it would mostly be absorbed into whatever tax refund that uninsured individual would receive. Also there is a tax on tanning beds included in the health care bill. As the website www.Politifact.com pointed out, if you were a happily uninsured smoker who enjoys a good artificial tan when Obama was inaugurated, you got hit with a triple tax hike. When a person makes a definitive statement, that person (me in this case) should make sure the facts are straight. Otherwise there's no point in writing it unless you want to sell a million books.CWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10224763613826818134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1679827718373643925.post-51621069636583515372010-09-02T21:41:53.381-07:002010-09-02T21:41:53.381-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.CWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10224763613826818134noreply@blogger.com
