Top IRS officials have been working with Democrats on Capitol Hill to determine how the agency will enforce President Obamas new health care law. Republican lawmakers estimate the legislation will require the hiring of many thousands of new tax enforcement agents.
While its still not known exactly how many will be hired, heres whats clear: Under the new law, the IRS is required to fine taxpayers thousands of dollars if they do not purchase health insurance. In order for the government to enforce compliance, tax authorities will need information, for the first time, about peoples health care. Collecting that data will require more IRS personnel.
Consider what has happened in Massachusetts, which passed a similar health care bill in 2006. To enforce the individual mandate, the states Department of Revenue asks filers what kind of insurance they have, as well as details like whether their sincerely held religious beliefs are moving them to petition for an exemption from the requirement.

Question: If I don’t buy health insurance but pay the friggin’ fine, who pays my medical expenses when I break my ankle boogalooing at the single’s lounge in the suburbs? Obama?

I read the article, and it says nothing about hiring “armed” agents.
In any publication, the body of the story and the headline are written by different people, so sometimes mistakes are made. However, this appears to be a BIG error, and very misleading.

"...armed tax agents to enforce health care laws"
Kind of ironic that they will shoot you if you don't buy health insurance. The good news is that a gun shot is a preexisting condition , so you will be able to buy the appropriate policy at the hospital

I am not convinced that Americans have the will to use theirs. Show me. They are too consumed with paying the cable/imternet bill and getting up to go to work. So, we'll have to see about that, won't we?

Ever read the books / watched the movies 1984 or Brazil?I was thinking about "Brazil" last night after this crapfest was voted on. One of my favorite movies, but a future we will soon be living, I'm afraid.

One more reason to repeal the Sixteenth Amendment and disband the IRS, as if we needed more reasons.
