Giant octopus: IRS has 8 offices to enforce Obamacare

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....
