White House says health care debate is over: Fee for uninsured is a penalty, not a tax Jul 1st 2012, 13:24 The White House insisted Sunday the consequence for Americans not having insurance is a penalty fee, not a tax increase, despite the Supreme Court decision and that the debate on the Affordable Care Act should finally end. White House Chief of Staff Jack Lew said on Fox News Sunday that "when the Supreme Court rules" the country "has a final decision" and that the presidential campaigns should focus on the economy and jobs. "What we need to do is go forward with the implementation" of the law, Lew said. He also argued the health care law will not result in a tax increase on the middle class, despite a Congressional Budget Office report that it would result in a roughly $27 million increase over the next 10 years.
