Health Reform: Providing still more evidence of how ObamaCare is "working," most enrollees learned this year that they had to pay back a huge chunk of their insurance subsidies. So much for "affordability."

Worse yet, try being in a position where HHS doesn’t accept your income information, not even gross income with no expenses claimed. Your insurance company will bill with no subsidy, and you may be liable retroactively for the subsidy amount for a couple months. My insurance co. sent me a bill (due today) for over $2100.
Never trust a democrat on any issue they made the mess we are in now.
I’m still waiting for the whining to start over line 61 on the 1040. There’s a little bitty box there that must be checked if the filer already has health insurance. If not one must file form 8-—. And I’ll bet if the box ain’t checked and the form ain’t there then the refund won’t be there either. Since the program is new, the box is new and most folks just won’t see it. One of our local bidness guys says over 60% of filers are missing it. Let the dimokrat odumbo voting whining begin.
That has already happened. Recreational item sales are way down since 08. Lots of dealerships went under even here in “rich” Connecticut.
=========================================
The Untraceable $8 Billion ObamaCare PR Budget---truly govt fraud at its finest. Egged on by Pelosi, Democrats slavishly voted for Obamacare by an historic straignt-party line vote.
Not one Democrat told Americans about Obamacare's Section 4002---which mandates an $8B untraceable fund to "promote" Obamacare (apparently b/c Boobamba had so little confidence in his signature legislation).
THE PAYOFF--WHO GOT THE MONEY? In 2010 Taxpayers are extorted $500 million, in 2011, $750 million, 2012, $1 billion, 2013, $1.25 billion, 2014, $1.5 billion, and, in 2015 and on, $2 billion
<><> Where is all that money going?
<><> Was cashing-in the incentive in getting the thing passed?
The sound of West Wing wire-transfers to states and to offshore banks is almost palpable.
The O/Care con artists are on a crime spree to work the dismal numbers----lots more tricks up their sleeves. Enrollees got conned into this scheme.. The enrollee numbers are so low, Obama ordered HHS to pump the numbers to dupe the taxpaying public into thinking the atrocity is popular....
==================================================
Some observers note that the Democrat-controlled Senate passed Obamacare "after a series of unsavory transactions that purchased the aye votes of several shrewdly extortionate Democrats"....with a huge pile of money still unaccounted for.
The most unsavory was then-Sen Landrieu's $4.3 billion "Louisisana Purchase."
THE PAPER TRAIL IS HUGE Sen Landrieu (recently lost her reelection bid) sold her aye vote in what Forbes Magazine dubbed "The 'Louisiana Purchase" that included a massive $4.3 Billion to Landrieu
FORBES REPORTED the Democrats nailed Landrieus support for Obamacare w/ a greenback bribe. Landrieu, critics believe, pledged her vote in exchange for some $200 million more additional federal funds for Louisiana. Except that, due to a (cough) "drafting error," the law ended up giving Louisiana $4.3 billion: more than twenty times the assigned amount.

===============================================
BACKSTORY In the fall of 2009, Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) was trying to get the necessary 60 Dimocrat votes to pass the Affordable Care Act. He needed every Dim on board, which gave waffling senators a great deal of leverage. In Landrieu's case, she connivingly saw that selling her aye vote could get her maybe $200 million federal dollars. Obama complied. Reid chalked up another vote for Obamacare----not the measly $200 million but $4.3 billon was attached to the Obamacare bill earmarked for Landrieu.
=================================================
How $4.3 billion to Landrieu was calculatedly attached to the Obamacare bill, and how Obama and Reid (cough) "failed to catch and fix it," is yet another indictment of the Obamacare atrocity.
The $4.3 billion handoff to Landrieu should be investigated as an indication of how EVERY Democrat came to vote for Obamacare....and how tax dollars were laundered to get lock-stepping Democrats' votes.
