Tell Your Representative to Co-Sponsor the “Keep the IRS Off Your Health Care Act”!

Dear FreedomWorks member,

As one of our millions of FreedomWorks members nationwide, I urge you to contact your representative and urge him or her to co-sponsor H.R. 2009, the “Keep the IRS Off Your Health Care Act”.  Introduced by Rep. Tom Price (R-GA), this bill would stop the Internal Revenue Service or any other Treasury department from enforcing any part of ObamaCare.

Currently, the IRS will be the most crucial department for actually enacting and enforcing ObamaCare. The premium subsidies that are supposed to help individuals purchase health insurance through the exchanges are actually tax credits, distributed by the IRS.  And most significantly, the IRS is responsible for administering the “tax” upon individuals who refuse to purchase a government-approved insurance plan – the individual mandate.

More ominously, ObamaCare requires the IRS to collect a vast amount of sensitive information about the kind of insurance coverage you have, and will store this information in a massive new database.  

ObamaCare’s supporters, of course, claim that the IRS would never share the medical information they collect, and that the agency would only collect the exact data necessary to determine eligibility for premium subsidies.  And yet, a lawsuit filed in California alleges that the IRS illegally seized the medical records of 10 million individuals in that state.

Having the same organization that is both targeting political opponents and stealing people’s medical records in charge of people’s health care seems like a recipe for disaster.  Rep. Price’s bill would stop the IRS in its tracks, completely erasing their role in ObamaCare.

I urge you to contact your representative and urge him or her to co-sponsor H.R. 2009, the Keep the IRS Off Your Health Care Act today.

Sincerely,
 
Matt Kibbe
