The Democratic Party is the federal mafia. Barack Obama has installed progressive capos at
the head of federal bureaucracies and is plundering the U.S. treasury. The latest shakedown happened at the
Department of Human and Health Services and Centers for Medicaid and
Medicare. Secretary Sylvia Burwell
diverted billions of taxpayer monies from programs designed to help the poor
and elderly to insurance companies that conspired with the Obama administration
to force citizens to buy their product.
At issue for lawmakers on the House Energy and Commerce
Committee is whether the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services violated
the Affordable Care Act by diverting $3.5 billion intended for the U.S.
Treasury to insurance companies.
“[Earlier
this month], the administration announced that they would be using billions of
taxpayer dollars to make payments to insurance companies under the Obamacare
reinsurance program,” Rep. Joe Pitts, R-Penn., said Wednesday during a hearing
with Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Mathews Burwell.
“The
announcement that the administration made represents an illegal wealth transfer
from hardworking taxpayers to insurers,” he continued, “and this law is very
clear—$5 billion of reinsurance fees must be returned to the taxpayers.
Experts have pointed out that with the absence of payments to the U.S.
Treasury in 2014 and 2015, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services owes
the U.S. Treasury $3.5 billion in payments from the transitional reinsurance
program—$2 billion for 2014, and $1.5 billion for 2015.
Laws?
Progressives don’t need stinking laws.
