The IRS Man Cometh

     In light of recent revelations, I feel it is both timely and appropriate to outline exactly the role of the IRS in administering ObamaCare.  What?  The IRS is involved in healthcare?? You bet your sweet premium it is.  The IRS, with the compassion of a pit bull in heat and the efficiency of the post
   

office, is mandated to play a key role in ObamaCare.  This is the same IRS that handles non profit requests as unbiasedly as Al Gore protecting an endangered polar bear. 
     The big stick, or big enema, that ObamaCare wields is a fine for anyone who doesn’t “buy” health insurance. (Remember buy is relative, if you are a middle class tax payer you are buying other’s health insurance for them with subsidies). So if you decide that rising premiums and falling coverage is not logical (imagine that) then who better to seek out and destroy your life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness than the IRS.  The Affordable Care Act (I giggle every time I say that) empowers the IRS to confiscate your tax refund to pay this new tax.  That means proving to the IRS you have insurance.  That means providing an inefficient, politically motivated, bloated bureaucracy with not only your financial wherewithal but also whether you had a prostate exam this year. So you are getting probed by both your urologist and a clerk at the Cincinnati IRS office who thinks conservatism is tantamount to leprosy.  Some one in the know was recently quoted as saying,
   
     “We the people have been told there is no choice. You must buy health insurance or pay the new Gestapo – the I.R.S.” 
   
     This wasn’t Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck...it was the Governor of Maine, Paul LePage. 
   
     In addition, Obamacare appropriates funds to hire new IRS employes to handle this influx of information.  Already the IRS has requested $473 million to begin the process (they didn’t specify how much was for line dancing instruction and Gilligan Island videos). 
   
     So to summarize, if you don’t have health insurance the IRS will be on you like Clinton on an intern. Now that’s an image that should make you sleep sounder at night.
