The federal government is recommending the state of Colorado repay $9.7 million in grant funds it says were not properly managed in the creation of its Obamacare health insurance exchange. […]

The government concludes the Colorado marketplace did not adequately document costs that it charged to the establishment grants ($4.4 million); charged grants for unallowable contract costs ($4.5 million); improperly transferred costs from one establishment grant to another ($312,000); and improperly awarded bonuses, overpayments, unallowable promotional giveaway items, excessive and unreasonable tips, vendor rebates that were not credited to the establishment grants, and unallowable social activities ($463,000). …

This is the true legacy of ObamaCare: thievery, waste, fraud, abuse, personal enrichment, vote buying through illegal grant status awards. You name it, ObamaCare includes it.

“Recommends”??? That is like “recommending” that a bank robber return the stolen money. What a bunch of criminals on both sides of the fence. I bet this kind of corruption was throughout all of the nobamacare entities.

It is illuminating to me that Colorado Republican elites worked SO hard to keep Trump from winning. This coupled with the Democrats that have infested it sure do make a case of “why did all this happen?” For thieving crap like this?

Buyer beware!

Colorado failed to read/understand: page 17,231, paragraph 4, section 5, subsection f. of the 'Affordable Care Act'. You know, the bill that the Demoncrap house passed so they could learn what was in the bill.

“For thieving crap like this?”

It looks to me as though Colorado has the same affliction as we have here in California, only it’s more pronounced. Colorado has one major city, RAT-run of course, and it’s relatively large population weighs on the state like Los Angeles does here. And you are no farther from the Mexican border than the saner parts of CA are, so I would imagine that illegal immigration is a big problem for you as well. So without border control coupled with substantial repatriation, the Mexicans will do to America what they’ve done to their own country and they will do it with their penises.

Typical government work. What’s unusual about this? Business as usual.

That’s a great idea. Trump should tell his new HHS to audit any State that handled their own exchange.

Trump better not repeal this thievery, waste, fraud, abuse, personal enrichment, vote buying through illegal grant status awards, unless he replaces it with something.
