Nobody goes to jail. This is a Fox TV lie.
They are quoting the part of the TAX CODE where it says you can go to jail for refusing to pay your TAXES and pretending that is part of the health code - it's not and the tax code has in no way been referenced by the healthcare bill.
The premiums you would pay for public option IS NOT A TAX.
The penalty for people who abuse the system is NOT A TAX - it's a penalty.
If they deduct from your tax refund that is NOT A TAX - it's lien, like anybody else whom you own money can claim.
Anybody who watches Fox get that?
Gorkbark - no it's NOT written into amendments. It's NOT a tax - the tax code has absolutely no bearing!
 
What the bill says is that this IS a tax. Call it penalty, fee, or whatever. It's still a tax. If you don't buy health insurance and you don't by government-approved health insurance, then they will impose a tax on you. But unfortunately, the code says that if you don't pay the tax, that's a misdemeanor, and we can fine you more, in this case, an additional $25,000. And on top of that, we can put you in jail for up to a year.

Why are you lying about lying?
