Much drama on this thread. Now that we're all calmed down can we rationally talk

mandated health insurance tax imposed by the mad tyrant Obama and his gutless crew of mouth-breathing lackies?

So you are claiming that no waivers, no subsidies for the new Obamacare brought about by the mad king Obama, exist?

We don't have to argue with you.
We can just choose not to abide by this ridiculous law.
You can't force us to do anything.

Why are you answering a question with a question?
I asked a specific and direct question...why can't you answer it?
The Fact Checker, written by Washington Post veteran Glenn Kessler, examines this claim made by Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La.: “The president has exempted over 1,200 groups, including members of Congress, from the health care law.”
What Scalise was actually referring to, Kessler found, was one-year waivers that the Department of Health and Human Services granted to 1,231 companies regarding the law’s restrictions of annual benefit caps.
“The waivers were granted to companies (such as McDonald’s or other fast food chains) that provided inexpensive bare-bones health plans known as ‘mini-meds,’ in what the administration called “a bridge” to 2014, when the law would be fully implemented,” Kessler wrote.
He added, “All told, the waivers cover a little under 4 million people, or 3 percent of population. But Scalise is wrong to suggest that these waivers were permanent – or went to “groups.” The waivers to this one part of the law expire in just a few months.”
Scalise gets a “Three Pinocchio” rating from Kessler for his claim.
