"For a federal employee, I think it is more likely — and I can speak for myself — I prefer to stay with the current policy that I'm pleased with rather than go through a change if I don't need to go through that change," IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel said Thursday.
REP. JOHNSON: Mr. Werfel, last week your employees who are a member of the National Treasury Employees Union sent a form letter for union members to send in to ask they be exempt from the exchanges. Why are your employees trying to exempt themselves from the very law that you're tasked to enforce?
WERFEL: I don't want to speak for the NTEU, but I’ll offer a perspective as a federal employee myself and a federal employee at the IRS. And that is we have right now as employees of the government or the IRS affordable health care coverage. I think the ACA was designed to provide an option or an alternative for individuals that do not. And all else being equal, I think if you're an individual who is satisfied with your health care coverage, you're probably in a better position to stick with that coverage than go through the change of moving into a different environment and going through that process. so I think for a federal employee, I think more likely, and I would -- can speak for myself, I would prefer to stay with the current policy that I’m pleased with rather than go through a change if I don't need to go through that change.
