Watchdog requests IRS review of group that is promoting Obamacare
The Hill ^ | July 29, 2013 | By Sam Baker

A watchdog group is asking the IRS to review the tax-exempt status of a organization crucial in helping to promote ObamaCare.

Cause of Action has asked the IRS to investigate Enroll America, a nonprofit that is encouraging people to enroll in new coverage options under the healthcare law.

The watchdog group said Enroll America should not have received tax-exempt status because its work helps secure new customers for insurance companies.

“If Enroll America is designed to benefit insurance companies instead of the American public, then its charitable status no longer applies,” said Dan Epstein, executive director of Cause of Action. “An organization that has been granted tax deductible status but is actually depriving the American people of taxable revenue warrants an investigation.”

Fat chance that they will. The suicidal IRS employees don’t realize what supporting these bloated programs and protecting the promoters of these programs will ultimately do.

I’d like this to happen but Eric Holder is a Marxist.

So they are asking a participant in the OBC scam to investigate another participant in the OBC scam who is responsible for providing OBC marks-I mean members- who, once scammed-I mean registered- will then provide the IRS with jobs/money to ‘administer’ OBC so they can become the most powerful and dangerous organization in American history??

Gee-I wonder what the IRS is going to do??

I heard on the radio today that Planned Parenthood was another organization like Enroll America. Maybe the IRS will also look at PP.

I agree. If these companies are being used to enroll folks in Obamacare then they are no longer non-profit.
