(3) This action could be an indication of future Internal Revenue Service abuses in relation to Public Law 111–48 and Public Law 111–52 given that it is their responsibility to enforce a key provision, the individual mandate. (4) Americans accept the principle that patients, families, and doctors should be making medical decisions, not the Federal Government. 3. Prohibiting enforcement of PPACA and HCERA The Secretary of the Treasury, or any delegate of the Secretary, shall not implement or enforce any provisions of or amendments made by Public Law 111–148 or 111–152.
