Todd Tiahrt in PolitiFact fact-checking of 2014 Senate and Gubernatorial candidates

On Health Care: FactCheck: Yes, ObamaCare levies some taxes before services

The comment does not tell the whole story. Two of the highest-profile and significant elements of the bill start in 2014. Health care exchanges would start that year, as well as subsidies to help people buy coverage on the exchange. And, yes, some of the tax provisions that do start immediately: a 10% levy on indoor tanning, and an escalating annual fee on drugmakers.

So Tiahrt is correct that the bill's biggest expansions in coverage do not happen until 2014, and that some taxation begins well before that. But he makes it sound like all the taxes hit immediately and there are no significant benefits in the first four years. In fact, the taxes levied in the early years account for a small percentage of the total dollars involved. So we find his claim Half True.
