HELLO! So where did the Obama Administration get the money to make those cost sharing payments?

Seems to me that would be one ‘H’ of a slush fund to draw from, and still have weekly parties.

Obama’s not worried, because Paul Ryan will make sure he gets every penny he needs to fund his cost-sharing program, and not a penny less.

That's OK.

They didn't intend for it to be unconstitutional.

Nice. Now Congress should sue the payees to force them to pay back their illegal payments to the U.S. Treasury.

You just wait. You can depend on those Pubbies doing something about their outrage over this illegal spending.

Oh, wait. I forgot it’s an election year. Don’t get trampled when congress adjourns early so they can all go home to campaign.

Maybe Ryan will huff and puff about placing it on their agenda when they come back in January.

So what? If the clown chief justice can maneuver to interpret the law as a “tax,” than what difference does it make? By the way clown Roberts, all revenue measures must originate in the House, this originated in the Senate, making it unconstitutional from the get go. As I said, so what?

Who cares what the girly boys of the GOP say? It doesn’t mean a thing.

No worries, Roberts will re-re-write the whole law to make it all better. Cuz that’s what SCOTUS does, right?

Unfortunately it’s too late to impeach this SOB, but hopefully under a Trump administration he will be prosecuted on any number of issues. WORST PRESIDENT EVER...

There is no Constitution as far as this Administration is concerned.

I do hope they end up spending 20-life for treating our country the way they have at some point.

Somebody might be able to make a lot of money out of this by a qui tam action:

The False Claims Act (31 U.S.C. §§ 3729–3733, also called the "Lincoln Law") is an American federal law which allows people who are not affiliated with the government to file actions against federal contractors claiming fraud against the government. The act of filing such actions is informally called "whistleblowing." Persons filing under the Act stand to receive a portion (usually about 15-25 percent) of any recovered damages. The Act provides a legal tool to counteract fraudulent billings turned in to the Federal Government. Claims under the law have been filed by persons with insider knowledge of false claims which have typically involved health care, military, or other government spending programs.

The provision allows a private person, known as a "relator," to bring a lawsuit on behalf of the United States, where the private detective or other person has information that the named defendant has knowingly submitted or caused the submission of false or fraudulent claims to the United States. The relator need not have been personally harmed by the defendant's conduct; instead, the relator is recognized as receiving legal standing to sue by way of a "partial assignment" to the relator of the injury to the government caused by the alleged fraud.[3] The information must not be public knowledge, unless the relator qualifies as an "original source."[4]
