The OBAMA administration was making so many unauthorized payments to PRIVATE INSURANCE COMPANIES participating in OBAMACARE that they couldn't even keep up to cover their own tracks.

A government watchdog has determined the Obama administration is violating its own health care law by illegally diverting up to $5 billion to private insurance companies participating in Obamacare.

The U.S. Government Accountability Office is the nonpartisan federal watchdog that determines whether federal officials are spending taxpayer dollars in accordance with the law. In a legal opinion issued last week, the GAO accused the Obama administration of illegally diverting billions of taxpayer dollars to private insurance companies.

The opinion concerned the administration’s implementation of Obamacare’s “reinsurance” program, one of several insurer bailouts designed to prop up Obamacare’s rickety finances.

Generally speaking, the reinsurance program taxes consumers in non-Obamacare plans to subsidize insurers who sell Obamacare plans.

The program collects $25 billion from consumers, with $20 billion going to Obamacare-participating insurers and $5 billion to the federal treasury.

The law is specific: the amount that each health insurance issuer pays toward the $5 billion designated for the U.S. Treasury “may not be used for the [reinsurance] program.”

But once insurance companies participating in Obamacare’s Exchanges started suffering huge losses and heading for the exits, the administration began funneling them the money that was supposed to go to the Treasury. The administration has so far diverted $3 billion — and counting.

The administration was making so many unauthorized payments to private insurance companies participating in Obamacare that it’s hard to keep them straight.

Both the administration and the Supreme Court acknowledge that the operative text of the Affordable Care Act forbids certain payments to insurers participating in federally-run exchanges. The administration is paying tens of billions of dollars to such insurers because it was able to convince the court to bless those payments anyway.

It is making payments to insurers on behalf of exchange enrollees who are categorically ineligible for subsidies because they have incomes below the poverty line. It is paying insurers tens of billions of dollars in illegal “cost-sharing” payments that a federal judge ruled “violate the Constitution.”

It is attempting to skirt a congressional ban on $2.5 billion in “risk corridor” payments to insurers that President Obama himself signed into law. It is even making illegal payments to insurance companies on behalf of members of Congress and their staff — giving Congress its own special exemption from Obamacare.

Consistent with past practice, the Obama administration is thumbing its nose at the nonpartisan GAO by announcing it will continue to divert these taxpayer funds to insurance companies.

If the rule of law means anything, it is that the government is as bound by law, as are the people. If the people come to believe that the government is not, they will rightly conclude neither are they.

The Smith-Mundt Act was signed back into law by Obama in 2013.

We're literally being legally lied to on a daily basis. How do you know what is fact or even true?

Notice when an assassination or something else shady takes place and people start asking questions because the story doesn't make any sense, we're the ones called conspiracy theorists?

So how can anyone not on the inside ever believe anything they ever say and how many things over the past couple of decades have they lied to us about?

The Smith-Mundt Act needs to be completely removed and a new law prohibiting lies and propaganda to be used against the American people needs to be put into law.

79% of Americans support releasing the Epstein files, but only 16 members of Congress have sponsored the legislation to do so.

After 7 legislative days, I’ll be able to collect signatures to force a vote on my bill to release all the files. Cosponsors: https://t.co/Y9hj5s4PiZ
