Money slated for health law gets detoured

Congress last week axed a part of Democrats’ signature domestic achievement to find $11 billion to cover the cost of repealing a withholding tax that otherwise would have hit government contractors in 2013. Mr. Obama signed that bill into law on Monday.

The withholding bill follows two other efforts — one in December and another in April — that reworked the health care law to squeeze savings for other priorities. The December bill funded higher payments for doctors who treat Medicare patients, and the April legislation repealed a paperwork provision in the original health care law that businesses said would be onerous.

All told, Congress and the president have tapped some $50 billion earmarked to pay for benefits and programs in the health care overhaul in future years to fund more-immediate spending needs.

That’s exactly why Social Security is in trouble.

The SCOTUS had better declare Health Care Reform unconstitutional. Taking money out of it for other purposes should be declared illegal, as well. What a mess.

No matter what is promised, the government is always going to be the government. Just another well to syphon off.....at the taxpayers expense....for "more immediate expenditures".

Don't worry I'm sure they put an I.O.U. in there.

Yeah... Selective outrage, although we could always "tax the rich" some more to makeup for it
