July 21, 2013: finally, others are talking about the same thing -- even the IRS data base is not as big as the HHS data base will be. EVERYONE has to file a report to document medical care.

To the best of my knowledge, this is not being reported in the mainstream media: ObamaCare requires everyone, whether they earn income or not, to file with the IRS. At least that's my understanding, and I've been blogging about it for quite some time.
Currently, people who do not have any income are not required to file with the IRS. However, under ObamaCare, everyone needs to report to the IRS their source for health care insurance. And if they don't have ihealth care insurance, they are subject to penalty.
And, now, with a huge new segment of the population required to file with the IRS for the first time, they are asked if they would like to register to vote. Regardless of whether they do or not, the government has a new data base with a long, long list of names that it can contact during presidential races.
A few others have noted the same thing:
Boustany, a Louisiana Republican, said the application raises two alarming issues: What does HHS plan to do with all the information it collects on each applicant and will pro-Obama groups like AARP and Families USA that might be tapped as "navigators" to sign people up to Obamacare, steer them to register as Democrats. Others have indicated that groups like Planned Parenthood and ACORN could also act as a navigator.
