The Diane Black attack on
the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act took another leap forward
Monday.
U.S. Rep. Black, R-Tenn.,
introduced a bill in Congress Monday that takes aim at two of Black’s pet
peeves about PPACA: its “onerous” reporting requirements, and its subsidies for
individuals who apply for health insurance under the law.
In
a statement, Black said her bill would streamline the reporting requirements
for businesses under the employer mandate
set for implementation in 2015. Not only would it make life easier for business
administrators who have to file the information, but, by eliminating some
required data, it would safeguard individuals’ personal data. The law requires
businesses to file employees’ Social Security numbers and date of birth on a
monthly basis.
Black’s bill, according
to the news source The Hill, would require annual reporting only.
“Obamacare is killing
jobs and putting the personal information of Americans across the country at
risk,” Black said in a statement. “These burdensome reporting requirements take
time, money, and resources away from the daily operations of running a
business.”
The
bill reprises Black’s earlier attack
on the health insurance premium subsidies authorized by PPACA. If enacted, the
legislation would establish more stringent income reporting standards for
individuals seeking a subsidy.
“It is unacceptable that this
administration has doled out billions of taxpayer dollars without first
checking to make sure those receiving subsidies are truly eligible,” she wrote.
