Priceless! 2700 pages of Health Care explained in 1 paragraph Trump Explains Dumbo Care -- No one can sum it up better than Trump Let me get this straight.... We're going to be "gifted" with a health care plan we are forced to purchase and fined if we don't, which purportedly covers at least ten million more people, without adding a single new doctor, but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents, who have recently demonstrated their objective and professional integrity; written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that didn't read it but exempted themselves from it, and signed by a Dumbo President who smokes, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, for which we'll be taxed for four years before any benefits take effect, by a government which has already bankrupted Social Security and Medicare, Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac, and the Post Office all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that's broke!!!!! 'What the hell could possibly go wrong?'
...and that's not even what bothers me. What bothers me is that the infrastructure is now in place for the Government to control human behavior. We don't need to sacrifice Liberty to improve healthcare. If you drop a frog in boiling water he will leap right out. If you slowly heat the water he will be content until it's too late to get out. That is exactly how history works. It moves slowly and we never really see any danger until it's too late. Obamacare can't stand in its present form. Me and my "ilk" won't allow it.
I'm waiting for the clerk at the grocery store to say, "I'm sorry sir, but you've exceeded your limit of sugar this month and I can't sell this six-pack of Cokes to you". We all know it's coming (especially if Michelle Obama has her way). Even Little Joe can't deny it. What better way to attempt to control human behavior than by controlling health care?
See here is the thing with what you call "facts". Just calling them "facts" does not make them true even if you really, really want to believe they are actually facts. I got as far as, "...but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents...." and then I knew that I had to call bullshit, I really should have called double super secret bullshit. But I'm sure that a birther with all his credibility and 4 bankruptcies under his belt has more sway with people like you than any organization exclusively devoted to, well, facts. According to Factcheck.org: Q: Will the IRS hire 16,500 new agents to enforce the health care law? A: No. The law requires the IRS mostly to hand out tax credits, not collect penalties. The claim of 16,500 new agents stems from a partisan analysis based on guesswork and false assumptions, and compounded by outright misrepresentation.
So just how many people do you think $500M is supposed to hire? And just who is going to collect the taxes imposed on the people? BTW, I made no comment about the messenger. It is the message that counts and not who delivers it. Only you perpetually seem to think that the messenger can taint the message.
I do think that the messenger taints the message in this case since he has been so horribly wrong in the past and as I pointed out is simply spreading already debunked lies.
So a blogger told you that factcheck.org was not trustworthy? Well, with the evidence of somebody's opinion behind you, I digress.
I guess that means I should ignore all of you posts, huh? Back to the important question from my post, "So just how many people do you think $500M is supposed to hire? And just who is going to collect the taxes imposed on the people?"
IRS requests thousands of new agents to enforce Obamacare WASHINGTON, D.C. — Still mired in scandal for its mishandling of nonprofit political groups, the Internal Revenue Service is prepping for a new role: chief enforcement arm of the Affordable Care Act. That task will require new agents — 6,700, the IRS figures — and more money — about $1 billion more than the current budget. Confronted with the tax agency’s 9-percent increase in its 2014 budget, House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wisc., blasted Deputy IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel at a meeting of the House Committee on Ways and Means Thursday morning. After reading off a long list of instances of waste, fraud, excess and abuse at the agency over the past several years, Ryan demanded to know how the IRS felt it had the “moral authority” to ask for more money. He actually sounded almost hurt by the request. Werfel meekly responded that the additional funding was essential to the agency’s expanded enforcement mandate. The agency’s latest funding boost follows an increase of nearly $1.5 billion and 1,200 agents already dedicated to the implementation of ACA. More commonly known as Obamacare, the ACA contains 18 separate tax provisions and 47 monitoring functions. It will fall on the IRS to collect taxes and to enforce one of the key provisions of the law —ensuring that every individual in the country has health insurance, and levying a tax on those that do not. It will also be responsible for collecting taxes from employers that do not offer insurance, manufacturers of medical devices and drug companies. In addition to its taxation and enforcement efforts, the IRS will be involved intimately in building and administering the state insurance exchanges, will have a role in monitoring health insurance markets and will have complete access to all medical records. Some view the agency’s rising power with suspicion. Speakers at last week’s tea party rally on the Capitol steps raised the possibility that the IRS’s influence on health care decisions could be affected by an individual’s political ideology. The IRS is working closely with the Obama administration to coordinate the ACA rollout. The IRS commissioner and health care counsel visited the White House a total of 586 times since the act was signed. Such visits have occurred far, far more frequently than in previous administrations, signifying the complexity of the IRS’s new role.

Nobody will be forced to buy it nor fined if they don't. Once again, trump not knowing what the hell he's talking about.
