What could possibly go wrong?



The Internal Revenue Service, charged with implementing the biggest change
in tax laws in 20 years due to Obamacare, has created eight offices and
special "teams" to handle the chore, way more than initially revealed.

Besides the top office headed by the woman in the middle of the IRS-Tea
Party scandal, there are seven others and a special enforcement team that
make up an organization chart that mirrors the organization of the IRS
itself, according to a Treasury Inspector General's report.

The June report focused on concerns that the IRS, which is filling the
Obamacare offices with 2,137 agents and officials to make sure citizens and
companies comply with the new health law or pay a fine, isn't clear on its
new role and how many new workers it will actually need. For example, the
IRS will be in charge of analyzing hospital "community benefit activities,"
which it has never done before.


But in that report was the organizational chart revealing the series of
Obamacare offices. They are led by a steering committee that coordinates
Obamacare implementation across the IRS. It is led by the agency's deputy
commissioner for services and enforcement, the office linked to the IRS
scandal. Ousted acting IRS Commissioner Steven T. Miller recently had that
job.
Other branches include three program management offices, four services and
enforcement offices, and services and enforcement exchange working teams.

From the IG report:

Appropriate Plans Have Been Developed to Implement Most Tax-Related
Provisions of the Affordable Care Act.

To begin the major task of implementing the tax-related provisions of the
ACA, the IRS created the following Executive Steering Committees, Offices,
and Teams.

-- The ACA Executive Steering Committee (ESC) is responsible for overall
program coordination and implementation of the ACA across the IRS. This
committee is co-chaired by the Deputy Commissioner for Services and
Enforcement and the Deputy Commissioner for Operations Support. It also
includes the IRS Chief of Staff and other IRS executives, including the
business operating division commissioners, et al.

-- Three program management offices (PMO): 1) Services and Enforcement; 2)
Modernization and Information Technology Services (MITS);5 and 3) Health
Care Council. These PMOs are accountable to the ESC for ACA implementation
and work with the IRS business operating divisions to ensure efforts are
successfully coordinated.

-- Four functional ESCs, each led by an executive chair, have responsibility
for specific provisions in the ACA that directly affect the four business
operating divisions (Wage and Investment, Small Business/Self-Employed,
Large Business and International, and Tax Exempt/Government Entities).

-- The Services and Enforcement Exchange Working Teams are responsible for
planning the implementation of the exchange provisions scheduled for 2014.

I saw a rerun of it. The downside of selecting a President by using
Affirmative Action.
