A non-profit called the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) receives hundreds of millions of dollars each year through a hidden excise tax known as a PCORI fee.
PCORI was established under Obamacare with the mission to assist people in making informed healthcare decisions. The non-profit is funded by a congressionally authorized tax called a PCORI Fee. The fee hits hundreds of thousands of private health insurance plans each year, extracting millions to create a behemoth non-profit. The 2019 PCORI Annual Report showed revenues of $615,205,771.
PCORI allocates funding with a preference toward minority populations, including Transgender (LGBT) persons. A quick search reveals some of the grants extended to these groups:
TRANS-ARC, a non-profit staffed by every manner of he/him, they/them, and she/her was recently the recipient of $99,957 to form a summit to study “how to best measure the benefits of gender-affirming surgery.”
UC San Francisco was awarded $2,146,837 in 2015 to develop “PRIDEnet: A Participant-powered Research Network of Sexual and Gender Minorities.”

No.
Get a job.
Somewhere there has to be a limit on leftist insanity.
Not since both parties abrogated the Constitution by swearing in the ineligible Kenyan from Indonesia.
PCORI
Never heard of it.
It is one of the many subversive taxes from Obamacare that employers have to pay to the IRS based on the number of employees a company has. The first year of this socialist scam was $1 per covered employee. The fee is now almost triple that amount. Triple the amount in less than ten years as wages are stagnant and food and energy prices are skyrocketing.
The end result is that insured workers are paying more for health insurance premiums in the form of higher premiums, higher deductibles and less opportunities to contribute to HSAs.
Thanks. Will send a msg to congress critters. Maybe it will at least draw attention.
What is wrong with you?
Get a job.
Maybe some credentials.
