B. OBAMA HEALTH TAX

On Jun 28, 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Obama Care, the signature achievement of President Obama’s term in office, was not constitutional under the Commerce Department, but it was constitutional as a tax. This is how the law is encoded in Torah. The second lowest skip of B. OBAMA TAX is encoded in a small matrix  of just 150 letters with HEALTH at skip +1. This word for HEALTH occurs only 3 times in Torah. The meeting is against odds of about 338 to 1. Note: I also have a matrix posted about why Justice Roberts voted to approve this law.

WHY IT’S HARD TO MAKE A PREDICTION. Until an event comes to pass, we often (really, generally) don't know what key words to look for. However, when the event unfolds, then it becomes clear. In this case, the President was on record telling the American people that his health care plan was not a tax, or at least not a tax increase. Therefore, it was not apparent that tax should be part of the search. But after the Supreme Court ruled, they said it was indeed a tax, and one that Congress had the right to pass. This was a surprise to the media, who until then only saw the issue as one of the Commerce Department imposing the requirement on the American public to buy a product, health insurance, under pain of imprisonment in many cases for anyone failing to do so. Only when the Court ruled this way did I know to search for OBAMA TAX in conjunction with HEALTH at skip +1 (the  open text).

       Figure 1 was not the only such meeting of these terms, others are shown in the table below (with none of them very statistically significant). However, when I find many such meetings, then I toughen the search by using a longer axis term. OBAMA TAX in Hebrew is only 7 letters, and I always prefer at least 8 letters in an axis term. Better is to include a requirement for his first initial too.  Thus the search term became B. OBAMA TAX. Here the second lowest ELS of the term matches up with HEALTH at skip +1 in the 150 letters matrix shown on Figure 1. That happened to be smaller (better) than any of the other matches that just relied on 7 letters for OBAMA TAX.
