Ed Morrissey at Hot Air reported on Friday that a few House Democrats are proposing that one part of Obamacare be repealed.  The part they are interested in repealing is the provision that requires businesses to file 1099 tax forms for all transactions with vendors that total over $600.  Previously, 1099’s were required only for services received.  According to the Democrat’s plan for healthcare, this provision, which would have gone into effect in 2012, would have reaised $19 billion over 10 years to pay for Obamacare.

Mr. Morrissey concludes:

“The next question will be how Democrats will pay for the repeal.  According to their pay-go rule, any cut in revenue has to be matched either with a commensurate increase elsewhere or by an equal spending cut.  Otherwise, they not only violate the very rule that Democrats cheered on its passage in February, they also push ObamaCare into a deficit producer, even in their skewed calculations without the doctor-fix they passed in June.

“Hopefully, this section gets repealed quickly.  That should start some momentum for repealing the rest of it.”

This whole situation could have been avoided if Congressmen had read the bill before they passed it.  I wonder what other surprises we are going to hear about as implementation comes closer.
