“Some 4 million individuals without insurance are expected to pay about $55 billion over eight years. Employers could be dinged an estimated $106 billion for failing to meet the mandate, which starts in 2014. But that mandate money, whether it’s called taxes or penalties, is overwhelmed by other taxes, fees and shrunken tax breaks in the law. These other levies could top $675 billion over the next 10 years. Other major taxes are aimed at the health care industry, and some of that cost is sure to be passed along to consumers as higher prices.”
