Taxpayer-funded Obamacare health insurance co-op’s may be running afoul of the law by giving extravagant paychecks to their top executives, according to a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation.
More than a million Americans have enrolled in the 23 non-profit Obamacare co-ops since they began in 2011. The co-ops were intended to be consumer-operated non-profits focused on delivering healthcare to the working poor and others needing health insurance.
Eighteen of the 23 co-ops paid their top executives prodigious salaries ranging from $263,000 to $587,000, according to 2013 IRS tax filings.
The high take-home pay for the “nonprofit” executives appears to violate both federal law and Obamacare rules prohibiting “excessive executive compensation.”

ALL these people is in on the money ...... big time !

Law? What law? We no longer exist in a country with laws.
The Court just said that the government doesn’t have to follow its own laws.
How quaint - violating the “law”?
Oooo- Better take it to the Supreme Court. They’ll straighten this whole thing out!
should be called Obamatax because they don’t care.
Isn't this the way to become rich in America today?
Breaking the law?
I’m sure John Roberts will jump right on that.
What is this “law” of which you speak?
Our betters can do what they know is best as they want and we just trust them.
Here’s an idea. How about a law that says compensation at “non-profits” cannot exceed what a Congressman makes? Same goes for any entity that is funded by the taxpayers in whole or in part.
That might limit the ability of Congress to install their cronies in some of these “jobs”. It also would force universities to make a choice: Either rein in salaries or forfeit taxpayer money.
Obama says, LAW?????? We don’ need no steenkin’ law!!!!!
