“IRS Accountability Act” halts appropriations for implementing ObamaCare
(Washington, D.C.) – Following
up on a letter to Health and Human Services
Secretary Kathleen Sebelius sent this week,
U.S. Senator Dean Heller (R-NV) introduced
the “IRS Accountability Act.”
This legislation prohibits the IRS from
receiving any ObamaCare funding that would
otherwise be used for implementing the
massive healthcare law.
“News that the IRS has been
targeting conservative groups violated the
trust that the American people place in
their government. Nevadans are already
concerned about ObamaCare, so the fact that
Congress could hand over even more power to
an agency under intense scrutiny to enforce
the health care law is deeply concerning.
The ‘IRS Accountability Act’
suspends funding for new ObamaCare IRS
agents because right now we can’t
trust the IRS to do its job,” said
Senator Dean Heller.
The President’s budget requested
that about $440 million be diverted to the
IRS for the purpose of enforcing the
President’s healthcare law.
Considering the IRS is under increasing
scrutiny for targeting conservative groups
seeking tax-exempt status, Heller
introduced legislation to stop additional
funding.
