    Republican lawmaker: Health care application improperly prompts voter registration

    considering it is expected to go to people who aren't citizens, that is an issue, but the way the Senator raising it sees it as an issue, with Obama giving out the subsidies people might think they need to register Democrat, specifically, to get the subsidy.

    How much of our private and public resources will be spent fighting each other and the courts over the next decade over Obamacare? How much of our GDP down the rat hole over this?

    If just filing tax returns costs the U.S. $600 billion in lost output, I wonder what the opportunity cost of Obamacare will be?

    According to a 2005 report from the U.S. Government Accountability Office, the efficiency cost of the tax system—the output that is lost over and above the tax itself—is between $240 billion and $600 billion per year. For tax return preparation, Americans spent an amount equal to roughly 20% of the amount collected in taxes.

    If the U.S. economy were analogous to a computer, couldn't Obamacare be analogous to a computer virus?

    placing of the question could lead applicants to believe they have to register in order to receive coverage.

    “This document-the ‘questionnaire’-represents each possible item that may need to be asked for successful eligibility determinations,” the introduction to the draft application states.
    Yeah, like that was unintentional.

    So the Dems are not only buying themselves a supermajority with their various Welfare State "accomplishments," they're looking legalize 12 million new D voters via amnesty...just in case. I can't WAIT for Leviathan to implode.

    take heart from the knowledge that ultimately this criminal enterprise will attain such bloated size and scope that its own survival will no longer be possible, and it will implode, as the Soviet Union and other similarly overreaching politico-economic orders have imploded. Governments that grow and grow ultimately find that their predation becomes greater than their prey can support, at which point such predators are doomed. Thus, the present system of government in this country and many others contains the seeds of its own destruction

    Based on the idea of natural rights, government secures those rights to the individual by strictly negative intervention, making justice costless and easy of access; and beyond that it does not go. The State, on the other hand, both in its genesis and by its primary intention, is purely anti-social. It is not based on the idea of natural rights, but on the idea that the individual has no rights except those that the State may provisionally grant him. It has always made justice costly and difficult of access, and has invariably held itself above justice and common morality whenever it could advantage itself by so doing.

    Draft Obamacare application asks about voter registration
    http://dailycaller.com/2013/03/25/dr...-registration/

    “The health care law spans 974 pages and regulated nearly one fifth of our economy, yet nowhere in the law is voter registration mentioned,” Boustany wrote in a letter to the HHS secretary. “The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) requires that federal agencies gather only appropriate information as required by legislation. While the health care law requires that government agencies collect vast information about Americans’ personal lives, it does not give your department an interest in whether individual Americans choose to vote.”

    Boustany surmised that the placement of the voter registration question, in the middle of questions to determine eligibility for insurance policies, could lead some to believe their potential eligibility is contingent on whether they are registered to vote.

    The Louisiana Republican requested that by April 8, Sebelius supply him with the department’s authorization to collect voter information under Obamacare and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, the titles of those responsible for clearing the document, and other drafts of the application.

    Additionally, Boustany noted that many applicants will deal with the exchanges through “navigators” like AARP and Families USA, and requested all of the department’s draft guidance for the navigator program, and asked if the navigators will be “encouraged to ask applicants about their voting status.”
