Mr. president, please let the IRS and not individual employers administer participation of employ...

Change the responsibility of administering the Affordable HealthCare Act from individual employers to the Internal Revenue Service.

Why is this important?

Under the Affordable Healthcare Act, Employers are responsible for enrolling employees and their families for healthcare coverage, including determining who will be subsidised because of low wages and who will opt out of coverage for what reasons. In addition, buying insurance coverages from certain insurers may affect each employee differently and not for their best interests.This takes a lot of time for employers and may not represent the needs of each employee. Directing the IRS to take over this function increases the privacy of every employee no matter what their wage is; reduces the cost of analyzing which coverage to buy, contracting with the insurer, communicating each benefit to each employee and their family and paying for each employee's covereage with each insurance company. Because of the mass purchasing power of the government, it allows the IRS to negotiate better rates and coverage with each insurance company who will participate in the plan and in collecting employee contributions directly through income tax forms and payments. The major benefit is that individual employees will be better informed of their benefits and choices, have greater privacy for their financial status, and the small employer will have much less costs and responsibility and a reduction of errors due to participating in the plan as a middle-man between the employee and the government. Finally, using the IRS in this fashion will provide greater efficiency and less cost to the government.
