My point is not whether or not I would pay it (of course I would).
My point is that the Government can keep track of hundreds of millions of taxpayers down to the penny, but they can shrug their (collective) shoulders and say “we can’t say for sure what happened to $2.8 billion.”
People that under report or fail to report income can certainly abuse the system. My take is according to the ACA law, they can come after you for being $1 dollar over the subsidy income limit. That would be worth the fight if your know your correct. I was assuming your talking about taxes in general...
“The government does “not plan to perform a timely reconciliation” of the $2.8 billion in subsidies.”
so HHS/CMS can just shrug their shoulders and say “what difference does it make”? shouldn’t Congress suggest to HHS that maybe their budget should be cut by this same amount until they DO make a timely reconciliation. HHS/CMS have given the middle finger salute to the American taxpayer, because our Congress critters could care less. Shouldn’t some congressional oversight committee with purview over HHS ask for hearings? as if that would lead to any real discovery of where the money went.
