More quiz-time fun with Obamacare!

Since quizes are all the rage these days, and a great way to educate the masses, I have come up with my own fun, fact filled little quiz on Obamacare.  I am going to call it “The answer is A”.  Ready?  Let’s go!

Question 1)  Obamacare creates A 2.3% excise tax on U.S. sales of medical devices that’s already devastating the medical supply industry and its workforce. The levy is a $20 billion blow to an industry that employs roughly 400,000.  This has already killed thousands of planned domestic jobs in the medical device industry.

Now choose:

  • A) True
  • B) False Republican capitalist lie!
  • C) Uh … I just know its free healthcare!

Question 2)  Obamacare creates a 40% excise tax on so-called Cadillac, or higher cost, health insurance plans, except many labor unions who offer these plans have received a deferral.

Now choose:

  • A) True
  • B) False, you corporate shill!
  • C) Everyone should plant sunflowers.  They’re big and pretty.

Question 3)   Obamacare creates a $2,000 tax charged to employers with 50 or more workers for every full-time worker not offered health coverage.  This will eventually be a no brainer for employers to pay the cheaper tax (that isn’t a tax … well, maybe a penalty) instead of the actual benefit, thereby eventually turning Obamacare into a single payer system.

Now choose:

  • A) True
  • B) Romney lover! You tie dogs to car roofs!
  • C) Hey, it’s almost time for Jerry Springer!

Question 4)  Obamacare creates an income surtax of 1% of adjusted gross income, rising to 2.5% by 2016, on individuals who refuse to go along with Obamacare by buying a policy not OK’d by the government.

Now choose:

  • A) True
  • B) Stop your right wing propaganda!
  • C) Holiday pay rocks! I love the 4th of July!

If you guessed anything other than “A” for the above questions, enjoy your new healthcare plan – and remember to vote on November 17th!
