Obama Admin Announces 'Retroactive' Obamacare Subsidies

On Thursday, the Obama administration quietly announced it will allow consumers in states with busted Obamacare websites to retroactively bag taxpayer-funded insurance subsidies, even if they purchased health insurance outside the Obamacare marketplace.

The move by the Obama administration will help Democratic candidates facing voters irate over Obamacare by now retroactively cutting checks to citizens in states with broken Obamacare websites. As CBS News reports, "Those who stand to benefit the most are Democratic governors who plunged ahead and ran into problems" because "Republican governors basically defaulted to federal control of online sign-ups in their states."

Then there's all the people between a rock and a hard place who didn't know what to do and didn't even try the stupid websites due to all they heard.

Had this been announced a month ago, they might have had a bunch of people sign with a private insurer.

But that would have resulted in more people insured. Which was supposed to be what Obamacare was about, but now we know it's not.

There are very many senior citizens without a computer or the knowledge to use one. Obamacare has forced them into government slavery. Because of the fact that you must file electronically you are required to hire an accountant. So, if an accountant charges $150.00 to file your taxes and you were only to receive $125 in refunds then what do you do? An intelligent person would say the hell with it, but a Democrat would think it's a good deal.
