IRS Involved in $5 Million Push to Pressure Americans to Buy Obamacare

The Internal Revenue Service was involved in a $5 million push to pressure Americans to buy Obamacare coverage, according to documents obtained from the watchdog group Judicial Watch.

Under former president Obama, the Department of Health and Human Services and the White House's Behavioral Sciences Team created a $5 million program to target and pressure those who refused Obamacare and either decided to pay a penalty instead or were exempt from being forced to purchase coverage.

"Attached are drafts of the letters that IRS will send to selected taxpayers who paid a penalty for failure to have coverage or who claimed an exemption from the coverage requirement for tax year 2015," said Janet McCubbin, director of individual taxation at the IRS. "As you know, we are planning to send several different versions of the letter to see which types of messages work best."

To craft and develop these letters, the IRS spent an estimated $5 million.

Obamacare was passed based on a lie, a hoax - Grubered.

Why does the GOP want to fix a lie, a hoax?

President Trump’s 1st executive order is said to have removed the IRS’s teeth where enforcing unconstitutional Obamacare mandate is concerned.
Trump’s 1st Ex. Order Gutted IRS Enforcement of Obamacare, 1472

Corrections, insights welcome.

Patriots need to pink-slip as many incumbent members of Congress as they can in the 2018 elections, replacing them with state sovereignty-respecting patriots who will support Pres. Trump’s vision for MAGA.

New patriots lawmakers need to commit to supporting MAGA within the fed’s constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers, petitioning the states for new constitutional powers if necessary.

In the meanwhile, patriots need to make sure that there are plenty of Trump-supporting patriots on the primary ballots.

Term limits is the only answer. Must begin at the state level because Congress will never do it.

Still on the hook for the "penalty" for not having insurance?
