GAO Uncovers More HHS Begging
White House hat in hand.
Outgoing HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius pushed corporate CEOs to give big donations to Enroll America, an “outside” group started by former White House staffer Anne Filipic. That much was known already, but the Government Accountability Office (GAO) brings more insight into the Most Transparent Administration Ever™, and that is Sebelius wasn’t alone. Jeanne Lambrew, although not named in the GAO report, is the Deputy Assistant to the President for Health Policy who the report says likewise solicited “significant financial contributions” for Enroll America. The administration was obviously trying to circumvent Congress’s decision to limit the money available to HHS for enrollment propaganda, and Congress should dig further to uncover any other lawless activity by this administration. It’s a full-time job, we know.
