Failing ObamaCare Law Keeps Stumbling
Item: The Washington Times for October 5 reported, “The White House insisted Tuesday that Obamacare is working just fine, pushing back against former President [Bill] Clinton’s assessment that the law has foisted a ‘crazy’ system onto the country that punishes the healthy with higher premiums.”
Item: The Washington Post reported on September 29, 2016 that the Obama administration “is maneuvering to pay health insurers billions of dollars the government owes under the Affordable Care Act [aka ObamaCare], through a move that could circumvent Congress and help shore up the president’s signature legislative achievement before he leaves office.”
The efforts of the administration, the Post maintained, “reflect the partisan thorns that still surround the sprawling law a half-dozen years after its passage. The payouts that officials want to salvage were part of an ACA strategy to help the marketplaces flourish early on. But Republican opponents in Congress branded them an insurance industry ‘bailout’ and restricted the use of HHS funds.”
