IRS Will Only Get Worse Under Obamacare.
And while we sit here and shudder at what has happened, it’s important to know that the IRS – the organization that just spent four years targeting the political opposition of the sitting President has been empowered by the President, through the healthcare law, to police every, single Americans’ healthcare choices.
Do you want to know how bad this is going to get? Starting in 2014, all Americans are being forced to pay for health insurance. But under Obamacare – the IRS and not you will determine whether the insurance you have chosen “qualifies.” You’ll be forced now to send that information via your tax return. And if the government doesn’t like it, the IRS can hit you with a tax penalty.
The IRS can raise money for itself simply by deciding that you don’t have “qualifying” health insurance. Now, supporters of Obamacare will argue that there are rules and laws to mandate the IRS don’t arbitrarily do that. But there are also rules and laws mandating that the IRS can’t go after people because they have “patriot” or “tea party” or happen to oppose the sitting President’s policies. Those rules didn’t seem to stop the IRS from doing just that for last four years.
And here is what is worse: under Obamacare, the IRS was already given a billion dollars and hired 700 agents just to police our healthcare. It is estimated the IRS will need another 13 billion dollars and 15 thousand new agents just to police Americans healthcare over the next decade and keep up with their tax collection duties.
There are so many reasons to repeal the President’s healthcare law – but the recent admission by the IRS that they intentionally targeted the President’s political opposition has to jump to number one. After all, Do you want the people who can’t be trusted with our tax laws to be involved in your health care?
Do you? Do you trust the IRS to be involved in your healthcare? Progressives, there is no corruption you won’t endorse for more government involvement in health care. So the question is for the rest of us.
