Internal Revenue Service agents already try to catch tax cheats and moonshiners. Under the proposed health care legislation, they would get another assignment: checking to see whether Americans have health insurance…
In addition, the IRS would collect hundreds of billions of dollars in new fees on employers, drug companies and device makers, according to the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO).

Sad that no matter how much you try to explain what our corrupted corporate run government and congress is up to many just will bend over and take it while waving their littler pathetic patriotic american flags.

Can anyone say unenforceable?
I thought you could.
You would have tens of millions of Americans thrown in the klink. There is no way that they could possibly enforce this.

They could fine you all they want, doesn't mean you would have the ability to pay. And they couldn't just go around arresting tens of millions of people for this. The courts would be packed!
Besides, that fine amount is pretty exorbitant. I seriously doubt that is in the actual legislation.
