    SUPPORTING H.R. 2009, ``KEEP THE IRS OFF YOUR HEALTH CARE ACT''

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. KENNY MARCHANT

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, August 1, 2013

  Mr. MARCHANT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to encourage my colleagues to 
join me in supporting the ``Keep the IRS Off Your Health Care Act.'' 
This bill authored by my friend, Dr. Price, will prohibit the IRS from 
implementing any provisions of the President's health care law.
  The IRS is an agency plagued by a multitude of scandals and 
significant misuses of taxpayer funds. The IRS is probably the worst 
government agency that we would want to have involved with Americans 
health care.
  The IRS cannot fulfill its current core missions. With this in mind, 
we should not allow them to hire thousands of new employees to oversee 
our health care. The IRS cannot even properly supervise many of its 
current employees. We cannot trust the IRS with our health care. I urge 
my colleagues to pass this bill.
