Obamacare: Taxpayers Must Report Personal Health ID Info to IRS
Americans for Tax Reform : Obamacare: Taxpayers Must Report Personal Health ID Info to IRS:
"This new tax information document must, at a minimum, contain: the name and health insurance identification number of the taxpayer; the name and tax identification number of the health insurance company; the number of months the taxpayer was covered by this insurance plan; and whether or not the plan was purchased in one of Obamacare’s “exchanges.”
This will involve millions of new tax documents landing in mailboxes across America every January, along with the usual raft of W-2s, 1099s, and 1098s.
At tax time, the 140 million families who file a tax return will have to get acquainted with a brand new tax filing form.
Six million of these families will end up paying Obamacare’s individual mandate non-compliance tax penalty."

.......but the comments indicate that a rather large portion of the NYT readership is just fine with having brownshirts go after people for their ideas.
Hey, fascists tend to be big-government enthusiasts, not small-government advocates.

What Benghazi reveals about our nation
What Benghazi reveals about our nation ... - Daily Inter Lake: Frank:
"The words of Thomas Jefferson stand as a warning to us all:
“...whenever the people are well-informed, they can be trusted with their own government; that, whenever things get so far wrong as to attract their notice, they may be relied on to set them right.”
The opposite goes without saying as well.
When the people are not well-informed, they cannot be relied upon to notice when things go wrong, nor can they set them right, nor —ultimately — can they be trusted with their own government.
Let us hope we have not reached that point.
Otherwise, like Rome and Julius Caesar, we may ultimately meet a tragic end."
