Not only is this Health care Insurance Tax Act going to be very taxing, it is also going to be very "taxing" [taxing, something that burdens or strains.] The costs involved in this affordable care law could probably pay for enough doctors and nurses to take care of all our needy citizens.

Look at SEC. 1502 and just imagine how many new jobs are being created here: accountants, secretaries, filling clerks, lawyers, data processors, human resources assistants, paper manufacturers, optometrists, psychiatrists, marriage councilors, it just boggles my mind.
