The "taxing" health care bill

One of the best ways to understand what a piece of legislation is all about is, well, to read it, (which too many of our elected officials refuse to do...or don't allow enough time for the American people to do).

This is even more true when it comes to Obamacare.

For example, Grover Norquist had a little fun doing a word search on the House version of Obamacare and found some interesting patterns [5].

If you care about your freedom (and/or your money), take a look at how often the following words appear in the bill:

• "Tax" 87 times
• "Taxable" 62 times
• "Excise tax" 10 times
• "Taxes" 15 times
• "Fee" 59 times
• "Penalty" 113 times
• "Require" 118 times
• "Must" 58 times
• "Shall" 3,424 times

Not exactly the language of liberty, is it?
