Fact checking CNN’s … Fact check

Obama’s health-care plan, as outlined on his campaign Web site, would require that large employers either “offer meaningful coverage or make a meaningful contribution to the cost of quality health coverage for their employees” or else contribute a portion of their payroll to a national fund that would help people who can’t afford health care to pay for it.
The plan does not mention any criminal or civil penalties. And, by withholding a percentage of payroll, that portion of the plan seems more in line with a payroll tax than a fine — which would typically be a set dollar amount. In a section of McCain’s Web site highlighting his health-care plan and criticizing Obama’s, the money in Obama’s plan is referred to as a “tax,” not a fine. The McCain campaign did not respond to a CNN e-mail asking for clarification on his use of the term.
So it’s not a fine. It’s ANOTHER federal mandated tax on top of all the other tax increases he has proposed.
If this goes through Jack thinks … don’t pay a “federal mandated tax” and see if you get FINEd!
Jack has had a few friends that refused to pay their taxes. They were fined and yea one of them did some time!
