IRS To Become Obama's Health Gestapo
Friday, March 19, 2010 | Kristinn

File this under 'you never thought it would happen in America.'

The Senate healthcare bill that is scheduled to be 'deemed as passed' by the House of Representatives Sunday afternoon, H.R. 3590, mandates the Internel Revenue Service as the enforcement arm of Barack Obama's dictate that all Americans be covered by health insurance.

The IRS will be empowered to check every month to ensure that every American meets Obama's dictated health insurance standards.

The IRS is also empowered to levy fines on those not in compliance. Under existing federal law, refusal to follow the rules of the IRS can lead to imprisonment--or worse.

An analysis released yesterday by Republicans on the House Ways and Means Committee estimates that 16,500 IRS agents will need to be hired to meet the expanded authority granted the IRS.

The nine page .PDF document details how the IRS will become the new overlord of the American people. A new section of the IRS code, 5000A, would be created by the bill. Americans would be required to maintain insurance deemed acceptable by the secretaries of the Treasury and Health and Human Services. Failure to do so would result in enforcement fines levied by the IRS in the hundreds or thousands of dollars depending on the income of the offender. The fines would be known as the Indivdiual Mandate Tax. The report adds that the IRS could add interest and penalties for failure to pay the IMT.

Health insurance providers would be required to file reports with the IRS on each individual they insure. The IRS would be able to share confidential taxpayer information with Health and Human Services.

According to the report, exemptions to the IMT dictate would be granted by Obama to approved groups and individuals for the following reasons: religious conscience, members of a health care sharing ministry, those below the poverty line, members of Indian tribes, incarcerated individuals and illegal aliens.

Under this bill, every American would be forced to answer to Barack Obama. If they fail to submit to his will, they will be fined, imprisoned or worse.

Out of control government.

If folks cannot see that our main political priority is SHRINKING the size of government over the next decade....then we truly don’t deserve our freedom.

The most frightening thing is that there are people in this country that we rub shoulders with daily that have no problem with this.

Does anyone think the will NOT, eventually, withhold money from paychecks for healthcare just like they do today for income taxes?

I don’t think you will see Civil War II.

American men are content to let the commies steal their earnings and their children’s private healthcare.

Otherwise we would have seen them sacking DC by now.

My son and DIL take care of my critters when my husband and I are away. Sometimes they simply stay here at our house while we are gone because they enjoy the amenities. ;-) It won’t be a problem!

“That the IRS even owns a single shotgun is outrageous!”

I don’t answer my door without a gun on me.

Me thinks there are many like me.

The good news is that not only are Americans ARMED to the teeth, but the armed forces will NOT support President Obama.

The plane truth is that it could lead to much worse...
