As if ObamaCARE itself isn’t bad enough, get ready for some brand new taxes in less than a week as we approach 2014. Lets again thank all the clueless rubes and leftist nuts who voted to re-elect Obama in 2012! Give yourself a standing ovation!
Regardless of what health plan you end up with in 2014 and beyond, ObamaCARE implements a 2% levy on ALL plans.
There’s a new $2 fee per policy that goes into a new medical-research trust fund called the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute.
3.5% ‘user fee’ to sell medical plans on the HealthCare.gov Web site.
2.3% medical-device tax that will inflate the cost of items such as pacemakers, stents and prosthetic limbs.hose with high out-of-pocket medical expenses also will get smaller income-tax deductions.
Americans are currently allowed to deduct expenses that exceed 7.5 percent of their annual income. The threshold jumps to 10 percent under ObamaCare, costing taxpayers about $15 billion over 10 years.
Individual tax filers earning more than $200,000 and families earning more than $250,000 will pay an added 0.9 percent Medicare surtax on top of the existing 1.45 percent Medicare payroll tax. They’ll also pay an extra 3.8 percent Medicare tax on unearned income, such as investment dividends, rental income and capital gains.
