The Oba­ma Admin­is­tra­tion is unlaw­ful­ly divert­ing bil­lions of dol­lars from tax­pay­ers to insur­ance com­pa­nies that sell Oba­macare policies.

That is the con­clu­sion reached in a legal opin­ion let­ter writ­ten to the Galen Insti­tute by for­mer Ambas­sador and White House Coun­sel Boy­den Gray. Read more on Forbes.com.

Hi Chet –
After speak­ing at length today with Jeanne and our oth­er pol­i­cy folks, I do not think I have any more to add. They seem to have giv­en you 80 per­cent of what you request­ed and I am not in a posi­tion to sec­ond guess there [sic] analy­sis.

In the April 15 email, Jar­rett advised the insur­ance exec­u­tive that he would have to live with 80 per­cent of what his indus­try asked the White House for.

A month lat­er, the Admin­is­tra­tion relent­ed and gave the indus­try 100 per­cent of what it asked for – a reg­u­la­tion that will involve the give­away of an addi­tion­al $1 bil­lion in tax­pay­er funds to insur­ers par­tic­i­pat­ing in the Oba­macare exchanges.

If the Speak­er intends to file a law­suit against the Admin­is­tra­tion for abuse of pow­er, as a res­o­lu­tion adopt­ed last evening by the House autho­rizes him to do, he should sue over this. Con­tin­ue read­ing →
