THIS BILL HAS BEEN RULED UNCONSTITUTIONAL! ERGO IT CANNOT BE FUNDED!

The ‘Untouchable’ $23.6 Billion Funding ObamaCare

by Ernest Istook
Untouchable.  That’s the treatment being given to the $23.6 billion being spent right now to implement Obamacare.
This $23.6 billion is part of the $105.5 billion appropriated by the last Congress to fund Obamacare.  The remainder (Think of it as post-dated checks for the other $81.9 billion.) automatically becomes available between now and FY2019.

None of this is to be confused with an additional $115 billion authorized for additional appropriation to Obamacare—but which the current Congress is unlikely to provide.
The most pressing question, however, is whether any of the current $23.6 billion will be rescinded as part of the spending reductions being pursued in Congress.
Despite campaign promises to defund Obamacare, it isn’t being done.  Why not?
