MARY AGNES CAREY: Good day, this is Health on the Hill. I’m Mary Agnes Carey. The role of the Internal Revenue Service in implementing the 2010 health care law has come under fire on Capitol Hill. Recent revelations that the IRS has inappropriately targeted conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status has caused some Republicans to say that the agency can’t be trusted to implement the health care law. Many Americans may not even realize that the IRS has a role in the health law, also known as the Affordable Care Act. With us today to discuss the issue is Joanna Kerpen of the law firm McDermott Will & Emery. Thanks so much for joining us.
JOANNA KERPEN: Thank you for having me.
