Tomorrow is April 15th, and Americans around the country are scrambling to finish their taxes, hoping and praying they don’t owe the Federal Government any money, and crossing their fingers for a refund. However, thanks to ObamaCare’s numerous taxes and fees around every corner, according to Grace-Marie Turner, everyday will feel like April 15th.
New taxes on investments, taxes on medical supplies, taxes on drugs and health insurance, and taxes on you if you are just breathing… the list of taxes Americans will face just got a lot longer thanks to ObamaCare.
The health overhaul plan just enacted represents the largest tax hike in U.S. history – $569 billion over 10 years through a dizzying array of taxes and fees that promise to frustrate taxpayers at every turn. ObamaCare will make every day feel like April 15th.
And despite President Obama’s campaign promise that no one making $250,000 or less would see a tax increase, Congress’ Joint Committee on Taxation confirms that these tax hikes will hit millions of middle- and working-class families who are struggling to make ends meet.

Over the next 10 years, unless ObamaCare is fully repealed, Americans will find themselves surrounded by skyrocketing health care costs and shortages of care providers.
One way to eliminate what Grace-Marie Turner calls the “Breath Tax” would be to pass Congressman Paul’s H.R. 4995 – the “End the Mandate Act of 2010“. Contact your Representatives today and urge them to cosponsor this important piece of legislation!
