Sen. Cruz: IRS has no place assessing or monitoring Americans' personal health information

Friday, May 10, 2013

WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) today released the following statement regarding the IRS's admission of targeting conservative groups:

Today's news about the IRS admitting it inappropriately targeted conservative, tea party groups is an outrage. What's just as concerning is the expansive role this agency is charged to take in enforcing Obamacare. An agency that has admitted to engaging in such corrupt, political activities has no place assessing or monitoring Americans' personal health information.

According to GAO, the IRS has 47 different taxes and regulations it is expected to administer, which not only include collecting and enforcing taxes, but also mining our health care data and monitoring whether Americans' health plans meet Obamacare thresholds.

I fully support calls to investigate and hold accountable those responsible for these reprehensible actions, and will continue fighting for full repeal of Obamacare as we continue learning the disaster this legislation will inflict on small businesses, on our national budget and on Americans' personal liberties.
