About the "Public Option", the President said:
I think that we can craft a system in which you’ve got a public option that has to operate independently, not subsidized by taxpayers — that they would have to go on the market and get a market price for capital, so they wouldn’t be able to just have the Federal Reserve write them a check.

New Taxes Galore
Quote:

Section 207 of the bill dishes up a trio of taxes which will fill the coffers of a new "Health Insurance Exchange Trust Fund": “Taxes on individuals not obtaining acceptable coverage”; “Employment taxes on employers not providing acceptable coverage”; and “Excise tax on failures to meet certain health coverage requirements.”

That is only the beginning.

Workers will endure a plethora of crushing new taxes, mostly by way of taxing their employers. Employers will now be taxed an unspecified amount for all part time employees, meaning wages will decrease. (Pg. 146-7) Any employer with a payroll over $400,000 per year, pays an 8 percent tax, on top of the 7.65 percent employer portion of the Social Security and Medicare taxes. Smaller employers pay a smaller percentage tax of 2–6 percent on payroll.

He lied. Taxes will go up and do so for every one.

Please check out page 203 of the main House version of health care reform. It contains all the evidence you need that the entire bill is a nasty bait-and-switch.
"The tax imposed under this section shall not be treated as tax imposed by this chapter. ..."
Yes, it really says that. The tax shall not be considered a tax. Or at least not "... for purposes of determining the amount of any credit under this chapter or for purposes of Section 55."
