Many people are still not aware of all the taxes and fees hidden within Obamacare, somethings that have absolutely nothing to do with health care and are more about clearly about redistribution, such as the new tax 3.8 % on unearned income.
These taxes and fees actually tend to harm the sick, with fewer deductions possible and more taxes applying, such as the medical device tax, which can apply to all manner of medical aids.

WASHINGTON — Here comes the ObamaCare tax bill.
The cost of President Obama’s massive health-care law will hit Americans in 2014 as new taxes pile up on their insurance premiums and on their income-tax bills.
Most insurers aren’t advertising the ObamaCare taxes that are added on to premiums, opting instead to discretely pass them on to customers while quietly lobbying lawmakers for a break.But one insurance company, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama, laid bare the taxes on its bills with a separate line item for “Affordable Care Act Fees and Taxes.”
The new taxes on one customer’s bill added up to $23.14 a month, or $277.68 annually, according to Kaiser Health News. It boosted the monthly premium from $322.26 to $345.40 for that individual.
