It time to put an end to the GOP talking point repeated here on DU again and again.

239. It’s Not an Individual Mandate—It’s an Individual Penalty

The Op is spot on the money.

Watching “Morning Joe” last Monday morning I was reminded once again how effective, a propaganda tool, a slogan that tells a lie is. Joe and crew repeated over and over again the slogan “Individual Mandate” and falsely stated that it forces an individual to purchase health insurance from the private sector. It does not. The mandate doesn’t mandate that anyone purchase anything. Instead, the “Individual Mandate” penalizes the individual for not purchasing heath insurance.

The correct term should be the “Individual Penalty”. Because there is a penalty that the government assess, on an individual’s tax form, if that individual has not purchased health insurance. So who created the term “Individual mandate” and why? The puppeteers for power and profit?

One can imagine the debate, at the propaganda puppet master’s PR HQ, over which term “Individual Mandate” or “Individual Penalty” would most effectively influence the public mind to achieve their desired goal. It is obvious, by the puppeteers’ choice of the term “Mandate”, that their goal, of creating a negative feeling about ObamaCare, can best be accomplished praying on peoples anger at being told what to do. So why would Obama go along with this?

So the next time you hear the term “Individual Mandate” remember the pysops game the puppet masters are trying to play on you and say “NO”, The proper term is “Individual Penalty”.
