Sign this petition to your legislators and tell them to stop lying to the public in their latest campaign rhetoric. Call them, too. The healthcare mandate is NOT a tax on the middle class. It is a tax on those who do not buy health insurance which will be more affordable. The middle class already pays taxes to cover the uninsured!
Why is this important?
Get the word out to voters that while Chief Justice Roberts called the upheld mandate a tax, it only pertains to those who do not buy health insurance which will be much more affordable. It is not a tax on everyone. In fact, we all pay extra in our federal taxes to help pay for those who are uninsured. Voters need to call their congressmen/ women and senators and tell them to stop portraying this mandate in a negative way that taxes everyone. It is a lie to make this ruling look bad.
