Remember this moment from 2009 when President Obama was trying to reassure Americans that Obamacare would not benefit illegal immigrants?
"There are also those that claim our reform efforts would insure illegal immigrants. This too, is false. The reforms I am proposing do not apply to those who are here illegally," Obama said.
"You lie!" South Carolina Congressman Joe Wilson shouted out. GOP Rep. to Obama: 'You Lie!'
Well, it turns out Congressman Wilson was absolutely correct. According to a new report illegal immigrants received nearly a billion dollars in Obamacare subsidies last year, a far cry from being barred from using the government healthcare program.
Illegal immigrants and individuals with unclear legal status wrongly benefited from up to $750 million in ObamaCare subsidies and the government is struggling to recoup the money, according to a new Senate report obtained by Fox News.
The report, produced by Republicans on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, examined Affordable Care Act tax credits meant to defray the cost of insurance premiums. It found that as of June 2015, "the Administration awarded approximately $750 million in tax credits on behalf of individuals who were later determined to be ineligible because they failed to verify their citizenship, status as a national, or legal presence."
The review found the credits went to more than 500,000 people - who are illegal immigrants or whose legal status was unclear due to insufficient records.
Keep working America, bloated and irresponsible bureaucracy depends on it, as do those who are in the country illegally.
On another note, not only are illegal immigrants obtaining hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars in the form of Obamacare subsidies, they're also voting in elections.
He looks more homosexual in every photo.
she could barely get out of bed without excruciating pain.
well, Medicare said she didn't qualify to be admitted as an "inpatient" so she was admitted as an observation pt.....however, that disqualified her for any extended care facilities or rehabs...
so her choice was to go home by herself or pay thousands for a rehab unit...
we pay into this system most of us our whole lives, and yet when we get up there in years, Medicare is not to be relied on...
but those illegals....they'll get extended hospital stays etc at their discretion it seems...oh and you better be providing interpretors....interpretors are MANDATED..
They are probably still apologizing.
Obama lied? Who cares?
Next.
The phrase "more homosexual" makes no sense with Obama, like "more socialist", "more hateful", or "more treasonous". He's already at 100% is all those areas.
Affordable Plumbing Act
Only weeks after leaving office on January 20, 2017, former President
Barack Obama discovers a leak under his sink, so he calls Troy the
Plumber to come out and fix it.
Troy drives to President Obama’s new house, which is located in a very
exclusive, gated community near Chicago, where all the residents have
a net income of way more than $250,000 per year.
Troy arrives and takes his tools into the house. He is led to the
guest bathroom that contains the leaky pipe under the sink. Troy
assesses the problem and tells Obama that it’s an easy repair, that
will take less than 10 minutes. Obama asks Troy how much it will
cost. Troy checks his rate chart and says, “$9,500.”
“What?! $9,500?!” Obama asks, stunned, “But you said it’s an easy
repair. Michelle will whip me if I pay a plumber that much!”
Troy says, “Yes, but what I do is charge those who make more than
$250,000 per year a much higher amount so I can fix the plumbing of
poorer people for free. This has always been my philosophy. As a
matter of fact, I lobbied the Democrat Congress, who passed this
philosophy into law. Now all plumbers must do business this way. It’s
known as the ‘Affordable Plumbing Act of 2014’. I’m surprised you
haven’t heard of it.”
In spite of that, Obama tells Troy there’s no way he’s paying that
much for a small plumbing repair, so Troy leaves. Obama spends the
next hour flipping through the phone book calling for another plumber,
but he finds that all other plumbing businesses in the area have gone
out of business. Not wanting to pay Troy’s price, Obama does nothing
and the leak goes unrepaired for several more days. A week later the
leak is so bad President Obama has had to put a bucket under the sink.
Michelle is not happy as she has Oprah and guests arriving the next
morning. The bucket fills up quickly and has to be emptied every
hour, and there’s a risk the room will flood, so Obama calls Troy and
pleads with him to return.
Troy goes back to Obama’s house, looks at the leaky pipe, checks his
new rate chart and says, “Let’s see, this will now cost you $21,000.”
Obama quickly fires back, “What? A few days ago you told me it would
cost $9,500!”
Troy explains, “Well, because of the ‘Affordable Plumbing Act,’ a lot
of wealthier people are learning how to maintain and take care of
their own plumbing, so there are fewer payers in the plumbing
exchanges. As a result, the price I have to charge wealthy people like
you keeps rising. Not only that, but for some reason the demand for
plumbing work by those who get it for free has skyrocketed! There’s a
long waiting list of those who need repairs, but the amount we get
doesn’t cover our costs, especially paperwork and record-keeping. This
unfortunately has put a lot of my fellow plumbers out of business,
they’re not being replaced, and nobody is going into the plumbing
business because they know they can’t make any money at it. I’m
hurting too, all thanks to greedy rich people like you who won’t pay
their ‘fair share’. On the other hand, why didn’t you buy plumbing
insurance last December? If you had bought plumbing insurance
available under the ‘Affordable Plumbing Act,’ all this would have
been covered by your policy.”
“You mean I wouldn’t have to pay anything to have you fix my plumbing
problem?” asks Obama.
“Well, not exactly,” replies Troy. “You would have had to buy the
insurance before the deadline, which has passed now. And, because
you’re rich, you would have had to pay $34,000 in premiums, which
would have given you a ‘silver’ plan, and then, since this would have
been your first repair, you would have to pay up to the $21,000
deductible, and anything over that would have a $7,500 co-pay, and
then there’s the mandatory maintenance program, which is covered up to
17.5%, so there are some costs involved. Nothing is for free.”
“WHAT?!” exclaims Obama. “Why so much for a puny sink leak?!”
With a bland look, Troy replies, “Well, paperwork, mostly, like I
said. And the internal cost of the program itself. You don’t think a
program of this complexity and scope can run itself, do you? Besides,
there are millions of folks with lower incomes than you, even many in
the ‘middle class’, who qualify for subsidies that people like you
must support. That’s why they call it the ‘Affordable Plumbing Act’!
Only people who don’t make much money can afford it. If you want
affordable plumbing, you’ll have to give away most of what you have
accumulated and cut your and Michelle’s income by about 90%. Then you
can qualify to GET your ‘Fair Share’ instead of GIVING it.”
“But who would pass a crazy act like the ‘Affordable Plumbing Act’?!”
exclaims the exasperated Obama.
After a sigh, Troy replies, “Congress ... because they didn’t read it.”
This will help you understand Obamacare .... And here you have it, the
‘Affordable Plumbing Act of 2014’. What a marvelous explanation this
is.
Part of the money Obama took from US senior citizens Medicare Advantage went to illegals.
"Obama Lied: $750 Million in Taxpayer Funded Obamacare Subsidies Went to Illegals in 2015"
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponents Argument
Patriots, we need to stop blaming everything on Obama. Yes, first it was Bushs fault, and now it is Obamas fault.
The bottom line is that the Founding States gave Congress, not the President, the ”power of the purse.” This is evidenced by the Constitutions Clause 1 of Section 7 of Article I (1.7.1).
What we are probably seeing with Obamas unconstitutional Obamacare funding for illegals is this. Corrupt Congress has let last-term Obama steal Congresss power of the purse so that Obama can do Congresss dirty, unconstitutional spending for it so that corrupt lawmakers can keep their voting records clean.
And by keeping their voting records clean, lawmakers can fool low-information patriots into reelecting them.
Remember in November !
When patriots elect Trump, Cruz, or whatever conservative they elect, they need to also elect a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will not only work within its Section 8-limited powers to support the new president, but also protect the states from unconstitutional federal government overreach.
Also, consider that such a Congress would probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.
LOL, I’ll have to take that under advisement. You’re making too much sense.
Everyone knew it then. Everyone knows it now. No one cares anymore. Half the country is living off of the government. The other half is stocking up.....
Lips moving? He’s lying.
He has lost total credibility with just about everyone because of it. He can’t be gone soon enough.
Another day another act of Treason.
Love it! BFLR.
