 Here is the first two things that get a comment.

1. From a facebook relative.This lovely statement.
Ok....here are the facts:
  • This was written by the great anonymous according to Snopes. Not Donald Trump
  • Yep, you must buy or pay a fine.
  • So lets educate more doctors instead of saying that having people go to the doctors instead of dying is a bad thing.
  • This bill wasn't written or passed by one committee take a look at the wikipedia article.
  • Nope not exempted.  Do a fact check on it.  
  • The benefits started before anything else.  Coverage for up to 26 years old as well as no pre-existing conditions.  
  • Social Security isn't bankrupt.  Medicare is to be "fixed" with the Affordable Health Care Act.

What can go wrong with a ill-informed population that promotes falsehoods?  Lots....Learn to find out the facts.

This chart? came from another relative:
  • This isn't from the Washington Times.  Its from FoxNews Radio as far as I can trace it. 
  • I suggest that you visit The IRS to find the latest on the taxes and tax credits going under the affordable care act.  Don't rely on Fox news for a non-corporate facts about the Affordable Care Act.
And now there is more:
ObamaCare will be the largest tax in history...
Well, no.....
From the Washington Post:
Another: Obamacare will add 1.1 trillion to the deficit
Another no.....
  • It lowers the deficit according the CBO or adds 340 billion over 10 years. When we spend over 635 billion every year on a defense budget.The one saves lives and the other takes lives.  Which is more worth the money? 
Next: "We have to pass this bill before we know what is in it!"
 Nope she said, "We have to pass this bill before you know what is in it."  As a further explanation she meant which parts of the bills in the House and Senate would be in the final passage.  Which is how government works.
As to the peasant part:  Fact Check it please.


July 8 email brought this one:

     Look clearly at the 2014 rate compared to the 2013 rate.

     For those of you who are on Medicare, read the following. It's short, but
     important and you probably haven't heard about it in the Mainstream News:

     "The per person Medicare Insurance Premium will increase from the present Monthly Fee of
 $96.40,  

      rising to:

      $104.20 in 2012
      $120.20 in 2013
       And
      $247.00 in 2014."

     These are Provisions incorporated in the Obamacare Legislation, purposely
     delayed so as not to confuse the 2012 Re-Election Campaigns.
Send this to
     all Seniors that you know, so they will know who's throwing them under the bus.
