They will fail.
They always fail.
Why bother?
“...but Republicans argue the move would be a ‘bailout’ that would circumvent the will of Congress.”
WHICH Republicans? Name them. They have caved on 0bamacare EVERY step of the way other than not voting for it in the FIRST place (credit due, there...)
Sorry GOP ,Obama already has the Secret Deal done and plane loads of cash ready to go
This money was not allocated by Congress to pay insurers. Using it is illegal. But, what do legalities matter to this failure of a President?
If it wasn’t for that b-—h Olympia Snow, Obamacare wouldn’t even be alive today. But nooooooo. We gotta give it a hearing because we Republicans are bipartisan and we don’t want the lib media to call us meanies, so she voted for cloture.
They say they will do this. They will not actually do this.
Greedy B*****ds knew what was going to happen going into this abomination. I’m not into class envy, but this is one where they need their noses rubbed in the crap they left on the floor. But the GOP will fold. 3...2...1...
IIRC risk corridor compensation was only for insurance companies in state exchanges and only for a limited time. Obama unilaterally (illegaly) changed how the risk corridors were to compensate (bribe) insurance companies when things started to go sideways for Obamacare.
Obama has just been spending willy nilly trying to keep this sieve afloat, and he was able to do that by using funds he gleaned because of budgeting through continuing resolution. The congress last year decided they had enough of Obamas’s lawless funding of the risk corridors and boxed him in when it came to funding whatever he saw fit.
Now he’s called out his little yappy dog Zeke to blame all the problems with O’care on the republicans, even after everyone with half a brain told the commies that there was no way in this or any other universe that the ACA was affordable and now they are whining that unlimited funds will not be pissed over the bank to keep it afloat. So much for the less than $1 trillion over ten years.
Here’s another possibility:
This is very strange .. but I’m wondering how many States are having a smoking tax increase ..?? all over the country.
We’re having one here in CA (there’s also one in NYC).
Now, I’m wondering if this has another purpose ..??
How about a WAY TO PAY OFF THE INSURANCE COMPANIES BECAUSE OF THE COLLAPSE OF OBAMACARE ..???????????
Anybody know ..??????
The insurance companies were involved in the creation of Obamacare. That fact that it does not work is on there heads. Let them go belly up.
