President Trump has an opportunity to unilaterally halt an unconstitutional corporate welfare scheme, deal Obamacare a mortal blow, and save the taxpayers more than $100 billion. U.S. District Judge Rosemary Collyer ruled last year that the Obama administration had unconstitutionally dispensed subsidies to insurers, holding that it had flouted the Appropriations Clause by doling out “cost sharing reduction” (CSR) payments that hadn’t been authorized by Congress.
It's especially irksome to people like me, as we pay the full costs of mandatory health "insurance" ourselves. It's also galling to have that "buy this product or else!" gun at your head. Next thing you know, the government will demand that you purchase a car - and it must be purchased from GM.
I don't presently have to buy home insurance, although it would be pretty stupid not to do so. But there's no government mandate; it's my call. I don't have to buy auto insurance (unless I want to drive a vehicle and do so on a public road). So why do Democratics get to mandate that we buy health "insurance" - or else?
