Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso (R-WY), a physician, on Wednesday said the Democrats’ refusal to address the rampant waste, fraud, and abuse that comes with the Obamacare subsidies is “insulting” to the American taxpayer.
Barrasso took to the Senate floor to respond to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s (D-NY) contention that the Senate Republican plan for healthcare, informally known as the Crapo-Cassidy plan, is “insulting.”
The Wyoming conservative argued that what is truly insulting is “that the Minority Leader and the Democrats want to send $83 billion of taxpayer money directly from the Treasury of the United States to health insurance corporations who’ve continued to get rich off of Obamacare. That is insulting to the American people.”
He continued, “That is a program that is riddled – riddled – with fraud. That’s what they want – these COVID Bonus programs put forth by Joe Biden – they want just three more years, more direct checks to insurance companies, taxpayer money with no accountability.”
Barrasso noted that the enhanced Obamcare subsidies have been found to be ridden with rampant waste, fraud, and abuse. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) found there is a staggering level of fraud that comes with the subsidies.
These bastards should have to pay for healthcare just like everyone else. It’s no wonder that they don’t pass healthcare reform, they don’t care because they get it free for life
