Health and Human Services Spending Big on Obamacare Prior to Court Ruling

Since the oral arguments ended on March 28 for the alleged Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare, the department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has spent $2.7 billion promoting and implementing the unconstitutional law. That's double the amount of money spent prior to the Supreme Court hearing the case. Although funding was previously allocated to implement the law, the Obama administration has shown complete contempt for the situation and is simply doing whatever they damn well please, whether the law is unconstitutional or not.
While much — if not all — of this funding was in the pipeline well before March, the timeline for handing out specific funds is not set in stone, which gives the agency leeway over the kinds of dollars it has been handing out.
And the stakes have increased as the date of a Supreme Court ruling approaches, because money that is spent most likely won’t have to be repaid. But remaining funds will dry up if the court strikes down the law.
The court is expected to announce its decision this week.
The $2.7 billion includes grants and awards that have been handed out since the Supreme Court arguments — including more than $90 million in funds for health insurance cooperatives that HHS announced Friday.
By contrast, the administration gave out about $1 billion in grants, loans and other awards during the three months before the Supreme Court arguments.
The fate of Obamacare will be announced this week, with an almost guarantee the ruling will come down tomorrow. The law has nothing to do with health care reform and is instead a way for the government to control the individual. By pushing forward with implementation, despite the law being under constitutional review by the Supreme Court, the White House has made it overly clear that their extreme ideology trumps not only the will of the American people, but the rule of law as well.
HHS could have very easily suspended implementation, but their goal is to implement as much of the law as possible to ensure it's almost impossible to unravel.
