Obamacare faces IRS strain as health law enforcement looms
The Supreme Court upholds most of the health care law, forcing the IRS to handle new tax breaks and penalties. By 2016 the penalty could reach 695 per uninsured adult or 2.5 percent of family income, with 4 million slated to pay. The IRS will require thousands more workers and money, but penalties are hard to collect, prompting fear of enforcement via refunds and stern notices. Charles Boustany Jr. leads questions on resources and capability.
