Tim Scott: “Then you find another $101 billion, another $101 billion in annual tax on health insurance providers not paid for by…”

On the recordJuly 11, 2012
Then you find another $101 billion, another $101 billion in annual tax on health insurance providers not paid for by those folks who make more than $200,000, but paid for by the hardworking, everyday folks like my granddaddy and my momma, those folks who struggled to make their ends meet, $100 billion of new taxes. But if you need a medical device, another $29 billion of new taxes. There is just not enough time, Mr. Leader, to talk about all the taxes that can't be articulated in just 2 minutes.
