Do you think the IRS is the best choice to enforce Obamalosi Healthcare Bill?

If this IS true. Do you suppor the idea of using the IRS ?

House Republicans said Thursday that the health care overhaul will expand IRS authority by giving agents the power to verify acceptable health care coverage and fine or confiscate the tax refunds of Americans without coverage.

Republican members of the House Ways and Means Committee, a panel that oversees taxes and health issues, also charged that IRS audits will likely increase if health care legislation is passed. They added the IRS will require up to $10 billion to administer the new program. They also claimed the IRS may need to hire 16,500 additional employees.

"This dangerously expands IRS authority," said Representative David Camp, (R., Mich.), the ranking Republican on the Committee on Ways and Means. "Most Americans will find it shocking and troubling."

The IRS is one of the scariest divisions of the government, IMO.

This is a bad idea. The IRS can barely keep up with the tax laws, and a lot of the deductions are allowable or not depending on the person doing the audit. But, hey, lets give them the say so over whether the health care plan we have is acceptable or not, too!

If I ever go to DC, I'm taking my OWN water, cause there is something that is killing off the brain cells of the so-called smart people there.
