Starting in
2013, there will be an Obamacare tax on medical devices such as intra-uterine
devices, artificial hips, heart pacemakers, breast implants, coronary stents,
ear tubes, traumatic fracture repair devices and artificial eye lenses for
people with severe cataract problems.
Meanwhile,
Obamacare will reduce deductible medical expenses in 2013, requiring people to
pay more medical expenses out-of-pocket.
Obamacare
provides that the Hospital Insurance payroll tax goes up for millions of
taxpayers. According to the 2012 Medicare annual report, an estimated 80
percent of taxpayers – which means middle income people — would end up paying
higher taxes.
In addition,
Obamacare will restrict the use of health savings accounts, forcing people to
pay even more medical expenses out-of-pocket.
Moreover, there
will be an Obamacare tax on “Cadillac” health care plans. Although this was
aimed at “the rich” whom Obama loves to demonize, West Virginia’s Democratic
Senator Jay Rockefeller pointed out that it would have hurt plenty of middle
class people, too: “virtually every single coal miner is going to have a big,
big tax put on them because the tax will be put on the company, and the company
will immediately pass it down, lower benefits, and probably this will mean
higher premiums for coal miners.” Obama ended up exempting his union buddies —
favoritism.
It has been
estimated that as many as 16,000 new IRS agents will have to be hired to collect
all these Obamacare taxes.
