End the Mandate Act (H.R.4995)
By Ron Paul
June 08, 2010
"Forcing every American to obtain a congressionally-approved health-insurance plan is not just unconstitutional; it is a violation of the basic freedom to make our own decisions on how best to meet the health care needs of oursaelves and our families." Congressman Ron Paul
The statists have launched a scheme designed to do two things they love more than anything else: vastly increase the size and power of government - and give our federal masters more control over our personal business.
It's getting harder and harder for them to conceal their true intentions. And people are waking up to it.
This isn't about what Congress wants to "give" Americans.
It's not about health care. It's about power. It's about what THEY get. It's always been about what they get.
And their "take" is staggering. Passage of ObamaCare means:
*** Statist politicians will collect more than $570 BILLION in new taxes on everything from prescription drugs and private insurance plans to medical device manufacturers;
*** Big Government will grow even bigger as the IRS alone will hire thousands of new IRS employees to "ensure compliance;"
*** The power of politicians and bureaucrats will expand dramatically as they FORCE U.S. citizens to buy insurance as a condition of citizenship and seize unprecedented control over American health care and businesses of every size.
We can give up and give in. Or we can FIGHT BACK. The battle starts with repealing the most repulsive provision of ObamaCare - the government mandate FORCING Americans to purchase health insurance.
And guess who will be enforcing this mandate: our old pals at the IRS, who may diminish or completely withhold your tax refund unless you either carry Obama-approved health insurance or pony up more of your money to cover the fine.
A fine that could cost households and businesses thousands of dollars.
If passed, Dr. Paul's bill would repeal the federal mandate on citizens and businesses included in ObamaCare.
The End the Mandate Act is only the beginning.
There is the Private Option Health Care Act, H.R. 5444, which repeals ALL of ObamaCare and replaces it with free market reforms, such as creating a FULL deduction for medical expenses, allowing the purchase of health insurance across state lines, and strengthening health savings accounts.
But the fight starts with the End the Mandate Act.
It could send our fragile economy nose-diving off a cliff.
You see, some reports show ObamaCare could cost as much as $3 TRILLION or more over the next decade.
The new taxes and "fees" intended to partially cover the outrageous cost of ObamaCare will instead most likely stifle any new economic growth and worsen the recession.
The statists in Congress believe they've beaten YOU.
After all, the politicians saw the polls. They knew they weren't doing the "will of the people" when they rammed ObamaCare into law.
But they think they'll get away with it anyway.
You see, the statists in Washington are betting you'll just give up.
They hope you'll forget about politics and get back to your life.
They seek to continue to distract you with their "bread and circuses" routine, along with their willing accomplices in the media and entertainment industries.
Too many Republicans are willing to only nip and tuck around the edges of ObamaCare.
They don't think the American people will remember and work hard enough to defend their freedoms.
H.R. 4995, the END THE MANDATE Act, which would end compulsory participation in ObamaCare. And his Private Option Health Care Act, H.R. 5444, repeals ALL of the massive ObamaCare scheme and replaces it with effective free market reforms.
