It is either a tax or a penalty. Either way it hurts many that can least afford it.

Just give the poor more subsidies. Problem solved. For example, talk out of both sides of your mouth when saying we need more oversight in mortgage underwriting, while simultaneously offering zero down loans through FHA ($8,000 tax credit equivalent is permitted to be applied at closing for down payment)

it is a tax, just like cap and trade will be a tax.

how ridiculous is it to demonize health care insurance companies and then demand that everyone pay for health care insurance????

This will shock everyone. I agree that the health care bill put forth by the Senate this week WOULD be a tax on the middle class and would actually put people in a worse position than they are now. The only ones to benefit by this bill would be the insurance companies and it should never pass as it is written now.

This is part of his problem - why people don't believe him. They know, without a doubt, this is a tax. This is like what clinton said - It depends what the definition of "is" is.
