Perhaps you’d like your HSA and IRA account to be distributed by the Government as well. They know best of course! Just turn everything over. NOT forcibly just by penalty of law!
I believe IRAs will be used against Americans at their retirement, to reduce their SS benefits. I don’t agree with it, but if the gov’t thinks it will reduce the SS burden they’ll probably do it. Wouldn’t be the first time we rewarded the grasshoppers who played while the ants stored food for the winter; it happens every day.
As I said, I have a problem with the larger picture (particularly federal income tax itself), but as long as we’re already expected to verify what we put on our tax forms I don’t see why this would be treated any differently.
