VICTORY! GOP Senate Repeals Obamacare Tax!… Saves 6.7 Million Working Americans $2085 Each Year!

In 2009 President Barack Obama repeatedly claimed the Obamacare surtax was not a tax.  ::)

As Americans for Tax Reform noted: Obama famously told George Stephanopoulos the Obamacare surtax was not actually a tax.  :D :D


Obama lied. Obama lied alot.

Obamacare was a tax.


6.7 million Americans, or 4.5% of working Americans, paid the Obamacare tax penalty.

Obama and Democrats punished working Americans with every policy.

Trump and Republicans are finally offering some much-needed relief!

The Hill reported:

Senate Republicans have approved the repeal of ObamaCare’s individual mandate as part of their tax-cut bill, a major step toward ending an unpopular part of the health-care law.

“Families ought to be able to make decisions about what they want to buy and what works for them — not the government,” Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) said, hailing the accomplishment.

“I believe if people don’t want to buy the ObamaCare insurance, they shouldn’t have to pay a tax penalty to the IRS.”

The Senate tax bill must still be reconciled with House legislation that does not include the mandate’s repeal. But that is unlikely to be a major issue, given support in the GOP conference for repealing the mandate.


No Democrats in either chamber voted for the GOP tax bills.

American healthcare is the most expensive in the world. No Americans benefit from that - only the Medical-Industrial Complex does.

I thought is was the insurance companies that benefit in the USA.

Insurance companies don't care about healthcare they are only interested in making a profit.

And strangely, no link to support this so we can safely assume that it is BS

Yes, insurance companies benefit from America's expensive, inefficient healthcare system. And Big Pharma does as well, and not only America Big Pharma:  foreign pharma makes most of its profits in the US market as well. Americans are the biggest suckers in the world.
