Doc,
-Yse, I agree that the IRS has a significant play in the proposed health care program.
-However, I've read teh proposed HR3200 twice (yes, I must have a sad life), and I have a slightly differennt take on the IRS role.
-From my reading, I do not think the fine print says the IRS will run the program. It's actually worse than that. My readiing indicates that the IRS will be working for the National Heath Care Commission, set up by the bill, providing this commisssion with all the information it requests and making the collections that the commission orders.
-Why is this situation worse than the IRS running the program? Well, the IRS at least has a bureaucray in place and some experience in running a national program. Ok, it's not efficient but it does get teh collectin job done. If the IRS was running the healthcare program, it would be about collecting money and ballancing books.
-However, this new commission will run the health care program for political ends. In that case, political agenda will be teh first goal, and cost cutting to serve political agendas will be the second goal, --a much worse situation.
-It appears that some compromise will be reached on health care in the coming weeks. Good. But, I hope it starts with a complete scrapping of HR3200. If we leave some of that commission langauge in there, the long term effect will be very bad for health care.
