"Nearly 6 million Americans -- significantly more than first estimated -- will face a tax penalty under President Obama's health-care overhaul for not getting insurance" according to analysts for the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, reported the Associated Press's Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar yesterday. That's 50 percent higher than the 2010 prediction -- when ObamaCare was passed -- of 4 million facing the ObamaCare penalty, which the Supreme Court has declared is really, well, a tax. "The average penalty... will be about $1,200 in 2016," Alonso-Zaldivar noted. That's roughly $100/month in new taxes.
Both the Washington Post and the New York Times ran the AP story in their print editions, but the former placed the 786-word story at the bottom of page A4 with the headline "6 million uninsured expected to face health-care penalty," while the latter ran a condensed 270-word version on page A18 entitled "More Expected To Face Penalty In Health Law." A search of Nexis and NewsBusters/MRC DVR recordings shows that none of the three major broadcast networks -- ABC, CBS, and NBC -- mentioned the story on either their September 19 evening newscasts nor September 20 morning programs.

From commentor I happen to think NAILED our current media.
"MSM Strategy to Help the Left: If someone points out flaws in the left's agenda, laugh at the critics as crazy until the left's agenda gets passed. When the critics are later proven right, cover up the news and do not report it."

????
Do you mean the media whose "jobs report" was adjusted UP weekly? Oh, or maybe the media that blanketed coverage of gas prices daily? Do you mean the media that actually covered the war with death counts daily? Exactly what media are you espousing was a "friend" to the "bush regime"?
Go stick your head in the sand if you have'nt realized the leftist democrat media in this country for 40 effffing years!
"not a peep" - hilarious and very ric More..

@boomersooner Non partisan?? Nothing inside the Washington beltway is nonpartisan.
I can't wait to see how these liberal fools react as they start paying their nice new premiums when this shit hits the fan.

Universal healthcare is a must for any 1st world nation, your only problem is that Obama's healthcare plan sucks...

@Ferrante - "Universal healthcare is a must"
NOT !!!!!!
Healthcare is a CHOICE, the people choose not to buy health insurance. You ask anyone who does not have health care if: they have a cell phone, if they have more than one tv, if they buy beer etc. They choose not to buy health insurance. When you get rid of choice , you make it a mandate and that is socialism at it's core.

@Ferrante It was one page saying we all had to buy health insurance, which is not health care, and 2,399 pages of bullshit and new taxes. We're way beyond sucking here. We're in the land of full retard.

@Ferrante
Yup. It's not even close to universal health care. It's a concoction of a right-wing think tank. It has no business being part of a "liberal" democrat's agenda. But, that's all he could get through, I guess...trying to be all bipartisan.

Did you know that if you owe no extra taxes, IE you're getting a refund even if it's only $1, there is no limit or penalty on when you can file it? That means that if you refuse to file your return and hold on to it until this stupid shit is repealed, they'll have to cut you a refund for the full amount you should have got when you eventually do file it, even if it's 50 years from now.
TL;DR Don't file your taxes until this bullshit goes away. Fuck em.

Obamacare coupled with the ending of the "Bush era" tax relief is going to send an even larger group of people into poverty.
Our employers will pay higher payroll taxes to cover the new taxes; we are losing many of our deductions and flex spending limits, not to mention their new tax on home buying which will raise the amount you will have to pay for your home.
Inflation will increase as companies raise the costs of their products and services which will put more companies out of bus More..

What's sad is that because of programs like this and all of the other entitlement programs, we are now running a $1.5 trillion ($1,500 billion) per year deficit.
The democrats blame the Bush tax cuts for this deficit. So lets say Obama and the democrats get their way and we raise taxes back to 40% on the rich. That would, by Obama's own numbers, increase revenue by $800 billion over 10 years or $80 billion a year. So, the deficit is running $1,500 billion (1.5 trillion) per year and you woul More..

@MrPadaso
You'll get no argument from me that Bush spent too much, but Obama said it was unpatriotic to do so and pledged to cut spending. He has already increased deficit spending in his 1st term more than Bush did in 2 terms. I'm just trying to hold people accountable. If Bush were still running the place I'd be all over his ass too if he was spending this much. Mark my word, you can call me on the carpet if Romney wins and the spending doesn't stop. If you don't see me ripping his ass yo More..

To Obama's credit, he has slowed the rate of growth of government. He hasn't reversed it, but it has grown less under his administration than under Bush.
