Johnny, I've spent a lot of time looking into this plan and it's pretty freakin' scary. The government plans on accessing participants banking and personal finance records, along with any other personal information (either published or not) that they deem fit to collect. Talk about big brother watching over you.
Oh, and one of my favorite things in the entire document is in section 441. It reads “The tax imposed under this section shall not be treated as tax.” Good, then I won't feel guilty if I don't pay it.
Although I think healthcare needs an overhaul, these are some of the reasons I'm not convinced that the government is the right entity to do it.
