IRS official: No ObamaCare problems

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

Implementing the healthcare law falls mainly to the Health and Human Services Department (HHS) and the IRS. Technical problems have plagued HHS's rollout of new insurance exchanges.

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.

Hall Ingram previously led the IRS office that has been accused of improperly scrutinizing the tax-exempt status of Tea Party organizations.

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.

"It is secured behind the scenes," she said. "It is not shown to anyone who is applying or who is assisting them.".....

Personally I figure just being on FR means I’m under the full scrutiny of the regime.
Once you get to that point, you don’t worry at all.

This will eventually result in 100% of health care being provided by the federal government. “Our long national nightmare” is just beginning.

Yep you expect them to show up on your doorstep. Defending truth and liberty is a duty when a domestic enemy has taken over your nation and is disguised as your leader.
