When Touting Obamacare, Obama Prefers to Spend Taxpayers’ Money JUN 19, 2012 • BY JEFFREY H. ANDERSON

As the Los Angeles Times reports, for every $1 that President Obama’s campaign has spent in support of Obamacare, his administration has spent another $65 in taxpayers’ money.

The Times writes that the Obama administration has spent $46 million of taxpayers’ money in support of Obama’s centerpiece legislation, while the Obama campaign has spent only $703,000. That’s a 65-to-1 ratio of matching funds, with taxpayers doing the matching.

Highlighting the overhaul’s unpopularity, $76 million has been spent in support of Obamacare over the past 3-1/2 years, while $250 million — more than three times as much — has been spent in opposition to it. But the vast majority of the $76 million that has been spent in support of Obamacare — $46 million — has been spent by the Obama administration at taxpayers’ expense.

Prediction: If the mandate is struck down, the Obama administration will begin to use taxpayer money to bribe state governments into adopting an individual mandate, because a state mandate will still be constitutional.
