On Thursday, the Obama administration quietly announced it will allow consumers in states with busted Obamacare websites to retroactively bag taxpayer-funded insurance subsidies, even if they purchased health insurance outside the Obamacare marketplace.
The move by the Obama administration will help Democratic candidates facing voters irate over Obamacare by now retroactively cutting checks to citizens in states with broken Obamacare websites. As CBS News reports, "Those who stand to benefit the most are Democratic governors who plunged ahead and ran into problems" because "Republican governors basically defaulted to federal control of online sign-ups in their states."
Democratic Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber was ecstatic, especially since his state's failed Obamacare website has yet to enroll a single person online, even though his state scored $304 million in federal grants to build its busted Obamacare website.
"I applaud the federal government for its efforts to make this financial assistance available for more Oregonians," Kitzhaber said.
The latest unilateral Obamacare change comes on the heels of 28 others. Republicans have blasted Obama for what it considers unconstitutional changes to a law without the consent of Congress. The procedures for how exactly customers will claim retroactive taxpayer-funded subsidy checks is presently unclear.

Well, there he goes, again.
I didn’t know Obama had a time machine..... Quick send a box of Trojans back to early 1960’s hawaii....
Great to be king.
‘Cept that he’s a queen.
He has no right to do that.
I miss the days when legislation came from Congress instead of by decree. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act says differently, but we no longer worry about taking care that the laws be faithfully executed.
more handouts
Another day another diktat
“I am the law”
Must be fun being a dictator when the “opposition” party does nothing. Everyone’s in B. Hussein’s pocket.
The Tyrant King is using his Moslem-Nobel Prize
authority to rewrite law again nunc pro tunc by himself.
He is truly King of America.
The US Congress are nothing but a stamp for his
Royal Majesty, Emperor King from Indonesia of the American
People by the Fraud of Pelosi and Corruption of Issa.
The son of a blitch is just trampling on the Constitution.
where the hell is congress?
If no one will stand up to him over this, they won’t
stand at all.
After reading about the OR gov - whose state website had failed to sign up a single sucker -being ecstatic with Plan ZZ, I checked to see if this wasn’t a John Semmes semi-news/semi-satire. Sadly, it’s (apparently) true.
WTF? C’mon people, somebody say something. This s*** has to stop.
Looks to me like buying votes, but that is just my opinion
Free health insurance - just like with free Obamaphones!
