IRS scandals threaten funding for health care law

WASHINGTON (AP) — Mounting scandals at the Internal Revenue Service are jeopardizing critical funding for the agency as it gears up to play a big role in President Barack Obama's health care law.

Obama sought a significant budget increase for the IRS for next year, when the agency will start doling out subsidies to help people buy health insurance on state-based exchanges. Congressional Republicans, however, see management problems at the IRS as an opportunity to limit the agency's funding just as it is trying to put in place the massive new law.

Republicans have been fighting the health care law ever since Democrats enacted it in 2010 without a single GOP vote. Unable to repeal the law, some Republicans hope to starve it by refusing to fund its implementation.

Wish we could do away with the dreadful thing but the Supreme Court took care of that. All we can do now is choke the funding from it and hope it dies a much deserved death.

Was just reading that low wage earners may not be able to afford it. Sort of defeats the whole "affordable healtcare thing" doesn't it? I said at the time when they were trying to ram this thing through that 1) triple or at least double the cost they're saying and that would be about right and 2) nothing the government does is done as well as the private sector can do it.

Practically every government program is in the red. Our government and it's agencies are so wasteful and corrupt I suspect the only hope of cleaning it up is demolishing the whole thing and starting over from scratch.
