                     GET IRS AWAY FROM HEALTH CARE

  (Mr. MARCHANT asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. MARCHANT. Mr. Speaker, a report released yesterday from the 
Treasury Inspector General shows that the IRS failed to track $67 
million spent in the implementation of ObamaCare so far. This is before 
the health exchanges are even opened. My constituents, like myself, are 
concerned that this type of waste is what happens when Washington takes 
over health care.
  The IRS has consistently demonstrated its inability to function as a 
responsible agency. Despite the scandals and blatant mismanagement by 
the IRS, the agency is also at the forefront of running our health care 
system.
  The IRS has little credibility with the American taxpayers right now. 
The agency must significantly be reformed before we should let them 
anywhere near our health care system.
  I encourage my colleagues to join me in repealing ObamaCare and 
getting the IRS completely away from our health care.
