During a House hearing on the Obama health reform law, Acting IRS chief Danny Werfel was asked why a major employees union at the IRS is urging its members to oppose a bill that would move federal workers into the health law exchanges.

Werfel's response caught the ear of Republicans, as he said, "I would prefer to stay with the current policy."

Here is the video of Werfel's exchange with Rep. Sam Johnson (R-TX).
