Fox's Doocy Falsely Claims Health Care Ruling Creates A Tax That's "Going To Hit Everybody"

SSSSSPPPPIIINNNNNNN.

Did Doocy just come from his second job delivering milk?
What's with the white suit?

Apparently, this is the Troglodyte Talking Point Du Jour; one of our visitors tried it out yesterday.

Of course, it's bullish*t, like all of their talking points. The tax only applies to those who don't buy insurance, and within that subgroup, there are numerous exemptions.

So, it is not a tax on "everybody".

Hey Stoopid, even your sheeple know if they have health insurance, they won't have to pay a penalty, especially if Medicare is paying for their walkers and oxygen tanks.

Hokay Dummy, first it's not a tax. Second, if you get health insurance, it won't hit you. Third, you're being so dumb about this you're making Kilmeade look like Albert Einstein.

The Doof says: "It's a tax for those who don't wish to buy insurance." Well, in my world (reality) there aren't people who "don't wish to buy health insurance," but there are people who can't afford it. You know, like my three young adult sons. They would like to have health insurance, but their jobs don't offer it. They all have unpaid medical bills right now that will most likely eff up their credit for years to come.

Isn't that how all us parents in "free" America wish our kids to start out lives?

No?

Sitting in his leather chair, Roger Ailes types furiously on his keyboard, mumbling an unbroken string of profanities and then he pauses, types some more and presses "SEND."

Moments later, words scroll up the teleprompter in front of today's occupants of The Sofa Of Stupid.

And Doocy begins to read aloud...

I would really enjoy talking to fans of Doocy and ask them why they would trust this idiot with anything but reading the weather report. He should have one fan, his mom, how could anybody else take him serious?

Not me, and not you either, Steve; we have health insurance.

Wow! Your Cable Channel couldn't even report the Supreme Court Ruling correctly. Now you have your "Commentators" out there obviously not schooled on what it said making comments on it that are not true. The only people being "taxed" are the ones who fail to get on board and get health care insurance. If they don't want to take the initiative to get it than Uncle Sam will just have to give them a gentle nudge. This should please you all. Don't you encourage taking Self Responsibility? No, you are more beholding to Mr Norquist to never raise taxes. By calling it a tax you can talk your crazy BS.

The health care bill saves tax payer dollars by canceling hundreds of millions of dollars per year in government give away money for fake bio-fuel tax credits to companies like koch industries paper mills connected to high cancer rates for people living close to their mills

I live in MA and there were some people protesting the decision on my way home from work yesterday. I couldn't help but laugh: WE HAVE HAD THE SAME LAW HERE FOR YEARS. The decision doesn't affect anyone here in the least. And about 98% of MA residents have health insurance, thanks to the law. It's been largely successful here. The only problem I've heard of is a lack of primary care physicians, since more people are seeking primary care. But you know what that creates? JOBS.

No, it isn't. The "tax" only hits the people who can afford to purchase insurance but refuse to do so. It's their choice. In Massachusetts, under the Romney "individual mandate," less than 1% of the citizens have to pay the "tax." Why? Because over 98% of citizens in Massachusetts are covered by insurance.

If by "everybody" he means people who can afford insurance but refuse to act responsibly.

Did anybody notice that Retchen is back?

This is so stupid.

First of all? ~85-90% of us already HAVE Health Insurance.

Second of all, those who don't, and buy it? Will be purchasing a SERVICE from a PRIVATE CORPORATION. How it that any more of a TAX than buying groceries?

And finally, that "tax" (fine, fee, etc...) that some people WILL pay? Is entirely by their own choice. It's COMPLETELY AVOIDABLE.

But hey: These guys have been acting like <1% of the population is "everyone" for YEARS now, so I should hardly be surprised.

POLITICAL SYMMETRY

And we have found our talking point!

Saw Cantor on CBS This Morning. What a clown. I give credit to the anchors for actually asking a couple of reasonable questions but then they let him slide when he gave non-answers. For example one of them (Erica Hill?) said something like 'Mitt Romney and the Republicans have said they want to repeal the healthcare law but have been very short on specifics about what they would replace it with.' To which Cantor didn't reply with 'THat's not true. We've been very specific. We want to have a patient centered approach, not a govt run plan that tells you what kind of insurance you can have and gets between you and your doctor' (or words to that effect.) WTF does that mean? How is 'a patient centered approach' in any way specific. And in what way does the ACA 'get between you and your doctor?' Unfortunately Hill didn't ask.

324,000,000 won't have to pay the tax.
