Fair enough, there has been a lot of misrepresentation about health care reform legislation from those who oppose it.

Under the various proposals now on the table, the IRS would become the main agency for determining who has an &#8220;acceptable&#8221; health insurance plan; for finding and punishing those who don&#8217;t have such a plan; for subsidizing individual health insurance costs [...]]]></description>
