President Joe Biden’s Health Department signed off on sending a check for $112 million to former President Barack Obama to pay “royalties” for the use of his name on the signature healthcare law, Obamacare. The payment is part of the original bill, passed through Congress before anyone but Obama and his staff read it.
It took nearly eight months for the details of the bill to come out and when it did, it was devastating. Millions of people lost their doctors, had to upgrade their coverage and paid far less for premiums with much better benefits. It was terrible. Those who couldn’t afford it would get it for free, of course, and those who didn’t buy it would pay a fine to cover the cost.
The Supreme Court declared the whole thing a tax but the Democrats don’t care. Now their “just pass it” way of doing things will cost the American taxpayer enough money to keep an aircraft carrier floating around the empty ocean with a little metropolis following it for almost 24 hours. It’s nothing but wasteful.
The Obamas deny the payment is for “royalties” and instead insist it was settled law and that was that. A federal appeals court ruled that we’ll just have to wait and see what he does when the next session starts, whatever that means. In the meantime, Obama has $112 million of your money, patriots. Should he have to give it back?
