Robbing Peter to Illegally Pay Paul: The Obamacare Run Around Congress The Obama administration is dropping some new hints about how it has moved money around to fund Obamacare without Congress -- but not nearly enough to put the controversy to rest. Forced to reveal more details under a provision tucked in this year's bipartisan budget deal, the Department of Health and Human Services declared Friday how it used Secretary Kathleen Sebelius's authority to move about $1.6 billion in departmental funds around last year -- the Cabinet secretary's version of looking for change under the couch cushions and hitting the jackpot. But HHS didn't say exactly how it spent the money, and it didn't lay out the kind of detail Republicans sought. So now the Republicans will have to decide their next move, whether it's just more records requests or new efforts to tie the Obama administration's hands in future appropriations bills. And even though it will be able to get some money from fees on insurers' selling plans on HealthCare.gov in future years, the Obama administration will still have to decide how it can keep Obamacare afloat if Congress keeps refusing to provide new funding....... LINK This is surly not the most open administration in history. |

No it is not Media Matters. Nothing to say about the content? I thought you liberals are all about discussing content? Not so with you? |

You could use a good helping of media matters. I'll go get you a dose. It might improve your mental clarity. If I am a liberal what does that make you? Conservative just doesn't do it justice. How about far right wing Obamaphobe.
