As a follow up to yesterday's post about the Obama administration's closed door policies, we wanted to share just another example of the corruption of Obamacare.

Emails sent by Obama's Deputy Chief of Staff and now Campaign Manager, Jim Messina, to a pharmaceutical company lobbyist were obtained by GOP investigators. These emails point to a back room deal being made between the Obama administration and the lobbyist around the time of the passage of Obamacare.

The Washington Examiner reported:

“What the hell?” White House Deputy Chief of Staff Jim Messina, who is now Obama’s campaign manager, complained to a lobbyist for the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) in January 15, 2010 email. “This wasn’t part of our deal.”

This reference to “our deal” came two months before the final passage of Obamacare in an email with the subject line, “FW: TAUZIN EMAIL.” At the time, Billy Tauzin was president and CEO of PhRMA.

The email was uncovered as part of investigation into Obama’s closed-door health care negotiations launched by the House Energy and Commerce committee’s oversight panel.

The article went on to say that the House Energy and Commerce Committee will continue with their investigation, hoping to further prove the deal was made by "Top Officials" of the Obama administration and how the administration did not share all the details with the public.
