Jim McDermott (D, WA)
JM: I'm reminded.... it's also about Republican storyline in this agenda. We need to find some truth here. And I've heard members of this committee talk about it.
The IRS can't access your medical file. Is that true Mr. Miller?
Steve Miller: Correct
JM: They cannot find out your medical information?
SM: That's correct sir.
JM: Their (IRS) job in Obamacare is simply to collect paid financial information on which a determination is made as to whether somebody can get a subsidy for their premiums. Is that correct?
SM: Were you covered and over what period is what we would be getting.
JM: It is not a fascist takeover that's going on here of the healthcare system.
And let's not forget that the IRS has one of the hardest and most hated jobs and their are thousands and thousands of good, solid, hardworking Americans who work every day to run the system.
And a couple of people make a problem. That does not damage the organization in my view. You get rid of the people who made the problem.

I heard yesterday that under ObamaCare, the IRS is tasked with 47 discrete responsibilities! This requires an additional 16,000 IRS employees (and as we know even that number will be "revised.")
We can always depend on the radical leftists to tell the truth in what they deny
JM: "It is not a fascist takeover that's going on here of the healthcare system."

APRIL 2004 : (MCDERMOTT IS EMBARASSED INTO RETURNING $5,000 CONTRIBUTION TO HIS LEGAL DEFENSE FUND BY SHAKIR AL KHAFAJI -—see SADDAM HUSSEIN, BAATISTS, BAGHDAD TRIO)
NOTE that his legal defense fund existed because he was the recipient of illegally taped recordings of a confidential call between Newt Gingrich and Boehner:
“In a 2-1 opinion, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia upheld a lower court ruling that McDermott violated the rights of House Majority Leader John Boehner, who was heard on the 1996 call involving former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.
The lower court had ordered McDermott to pay Boehner more than $700,000 for leaking the taped conversation. The figure includes $60,000 in damages and at least $600,000 in legal costs.”
