the IRS is going to be managing a vast majority of American healthcare records anyway

For those interested, I found more info in the following links. Though, it still does not appear that the IRS would be privy to the exact details of medical care.

it's "theft" until you get someone to pass a law requiring people to voluntarily give you what you want

While this is very true, it is rarely applied retroactively.
