How is the mandate an income tax? How can they mandate that you buy something from a private entity? If you don't purchase insurance aren't they fining you? Or are they passing that off as a tax?

Its quite simple. If you do not hold health care coverage, a 2.5% tax will be levied on your income, not to exceed the cost of an average plan. You're quite free to not purchase your own insurance, in which case, the government will levy this tax on you, and buy insurance for you, at which point, you're quite free to not actually use if you don't like. That is, of course, until you wind up in an emergency room where your expenses will actually be paid for.
so we now are required to pay our "taxes" to private insurance companies??
No. The taxes will be made payable to the United States Treasury.

It appears they're reaching out and tapping EMPLOYERS with a fine of $700 PER uninsured employee.
The law is constitutional. We all pay Medicare and Medicaid taxes. The super neo-corporatists should be thrilled that private industry is getting the windfall of the requirement to purchase health care: free market forces will dictate that competition will drive prices down. And if the American people really don't like it, then the government can collect it and buy insurance for you directly.
Either way, far right conloons, you are in the system legally and constitutionally: there is no out.

We shall see. I do believe it is unconstitutional, but again, we shall see.
I've looked into it and the main issue states are beginning to file suit over is whether or not they can pass laws exempting their citizens from the "mandate"
The "mandate" is actually an income tax. And no, a state cannot opt out of federal income taxes.

How is demanding an expenditure from a private citizen for a product purchased from a private comapny a tax on income?

The fine is being defined as a tax. They think if they pretend the fine is a tax they can skirt the Constitution. The Constitution allows the Government to tax. Of course what they FAIL to recall is that the Constitution requires that ALL taxes throughout the several States must be uniform.
A fine(tax) for just those that do not buy health Insurance is NOT uniform so is not legal nor Constitutional.

Your thoughts?
The bill is constitutional. This has already been explained to you and will shortly be explained by the federal courts to the states attorneys general.
