The Patriot Post® · HHS Changes ObamaCare

Whenever the Obama administration encounters the reality of ObamaCare’s negative effects, HHS just issues another lawless waiver, change or delay. Such was the case once again when HHS announced that people who sign up for health insurance outside the exchanges are now eligible for subsidies. Until now, they weren’t. The move aims to solve an uncomfortable problem for governors, mainly Democrat, whose exchanges are wallowing in failure. Oregon Democrat Gov. John Kitzhaber, whose state is near the bottom on enrollments, is delighted, saying, “[This] news means that many more Oregonians will be able to access better coverage at a more affordable cost.” Never mind that HHS doesn’t have the authority to change tax law.
