Wilson Votes to Protect American Families From the IRS

Congressman Joe Wilson (SC-02) issued the following statement after the House passed H.R. 2009, the Keep the IRS Off Your Health Care Act. This bill bars the IRS from implementing or enforcing any component of Obamacare.

Wilson stated, "The scandal-ridden Internal Revenue Service has proven itself to be incapable of operating impartially and fairly. Subjecting every American family to possible abuse and fraud by this bureaucratic agency is irresponsible. If we can't trust the IRS to complete the simple task of administering tax status to groups, we certainly can not trust them to manage our healthcare.

"House Republicans are committed to preserving the doctor-patient relationship by dismantling and repealing the government healthcare takeover law. The federal government has no business meddling in our private and personal healthcare decisions. As the Administration carries on with Obamacare's implementation, they are ignoring the will of the American people. As a proud cosponsor of this bill, I hope that the Senate will consider our efforts to protect every American family from potential mistreatment by the IRS."
