IRS official: No ObamaCare problems
The Hill ^ | October 9, 2013 | Sam Baker

The IRS's share of ObamaCare implementation is "going fine," the director of the tax agency's implementation office said Wednesday.

But Sarah Hall Ingram, the director of the IRS's Affordable Care Act office, told a House panel Wednesday that the IRS hasn't experienced similar problems.

"The portion of the responsibilities the IRS is in charge of is going fine," Hall Ingram said.

Republicans on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee assailed Hall Ingram during a hearing Wednesday, seeking to link the targeting scandal to the IRS's role in implementing the Affordable Care Act.

Hall Ingram said the IRS has created new processes to protect the tax information that would be accessed when consumers apply for insurance through ObamaCare's exchanges.

Oct 9, 2013: White House, IRS exchanged confidential taxpayer infoTop Internal Revenue Service Obamacare official Sarah Hall Ingram discussed confidential taxpayer information with senior Obama White House officials, according to 2012 emails obtained by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee and provided to The Daily Caller.

Lois Lerner, then head of the IRS Tax Exempt Organizations division, also received an email alongside White House officials that contained confidential information. Ingram attempted to counsel the White House on a lawsuit from religious organizations opposing Obamacare’s contraception mandate.

Having been harassed by these people recently, I'm sure they would never use their power to send me to the bottom of the list should I need anything........

Common sense; all of this government chaos is being orchestrated so the fraud Adolf obozo can declare martial law. The purpose, NWO and eliminate the US middle class.

Good point but I’m talking about hacking from the outside in not running an identity theft ring from within the IRS...: )

Do a search using CIA and “website hacked” and tell me how safe you think your identity will be. I lay odds hacked at least twice in first 6 months but they won’t discover it for awhile and won’t put it in the news for fear of panicking the public

Sure. And Baghdad Bob penned a USAToday oped titled, “HealthCare.gov is Simple and User Friendly”.

Oh, wait ... it was Kathleen Sibilius who wrote that article. Sorry to insult Baghdad Bob that way.
