‘Blatantly Illegal’- Supreme Court Delivers a Bombshell 9-0 Ruling

[Doc7505]

I am not removing fault from Biden and his HHS for not fixing this, but the claim of the OP was that this was the doing of Biden himself. There was no mention of the Admin that started this and fought for it in 2020.

Did the Biden Admin defend the cuts in court? The lower court ruling was in 2020. That was still the Trump admin.

And I disagree, 1.6 bil is a huge deal, especially lower income and rural areas that have been losing hospitals every since ObamaCare drove them to bankruptcy.

Becerra did not do this independently of the Biden administration. He took his orders directly from Joey Xi and his handlers.

Of course he did, just like Aazr did so from Trump.

Remember Joey Xi and his merry Maoist thieves keep telling us. "It's for the Children".

Speaker Nancy Pelosi closed out the week by advising Democrats to “throw a punch — for the children” come election season.

Why were you not whining about this when Trump's handpicked HHS Head changed these rates in 2018 and 2019 and 2020?

Why were you not whining when Trump's DOJ went to court and fought for the power to make these changes?

From the link in the OP...

President Donald J. Trump was in an epic battle with the HHS for his entire administration, wanting the massive and overblown agency to make better choices to serve the American people, and the left absolutely freaked out at the notion that a Government institution was not just a jobs program for them and their cronies- but was actually meant to serve the American people- effectively.

It was his HHS that did this "blatantly illegal thing".

It as his hand picked head of the HHS that ordered this change.

It was his DOJ that argued in the lower court it was legal for them to do.

Would you know that form this article?

did you stop reading?

 

[Harpy Eagle]

did you stop reading?

Nope, I did not. Clearly you never even read the first paragraph so what is your point?

 

[struth]

Nope, I did not. Clearly you never even read the first paragraph so what is your point?

It's clear from your post you never read the OP link...so not sure why you are here running off and posting? You just sound like an idiot that never addresses the points raised

 

[Harpy Eagle]

I fucking quoted from the OpEd, showing that you lied about what it said. It is clear you did not read it or even read the OP. But you never do, all you ever do is cover for your god.

what did i lie about?

 

[Harpy Eagle]

what did i lie about?

This was a lie...

The op-ed didn’t lie, it didnt say it wasn’t a trump era policy

The Op-Ed made it sound like Trump was fighting against such things when it was his policy

 

[struth]

This was a lie...

The op-ed didn’t lie, it didnt say it wasn’t a trump era policy

The Op-Ed made it sound like Trump was fighting against such things when it was his policy

how was that a lie? the op-ed said it was a trump era policy.

the op-ed gave an opinion about how the dems, xiden, et al continued his policies even though they lambasted it

the op-ed gave an opinion you continue to deflect from actually addressing it

 

[Harpy Eagle]

how was that a lie? the op-ed said it was a trump era policy.

Now you are lying again, the Op-Ed never said it was a Trump era policy, and it goes out of its way to imply Trump fought against it, which is also a lie.

 

[struth]

Now you are lying again, the Op-Ed never said it was a Trump era policy, and it goes out of its way to imply Trump fought against it, which is also a lie.

so clearly you didn’t read the op-ed

geez

 

[Harpy Eagle]

so clearly you didn’t read the op-ed

geez

Yes, I did. If I am wrong copy and paste those words out of the Op-Ed and prove it

 

[struth]

Yes, I did. If I am wrong copy and paste those words out of the Op-Ed and prove it

correct what? nothing you said was based on what the op-ed said

 

[Harpy Eagle]

correct what? nothing you said was based on what the op-ed said

The Op-Ed never said it was a Trump era policy. You claim that it does and accused me of lying about reading it.

So...back up your words and copy and paste the words from the OpEd that say it was a Trump era policy

 

[struth]

you are all talk and no honesty.

‘Blatantly Illegal’- Supreme Court Delivers a Bombshell 9-0 Ruling​

Old School Journalism You Can Count On

21 Jun 2022 ~!~ By Kari Donovan

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that Democrat Joe Biden’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) violated drug reimbursement rules for low-income patients in a blistering decision that the media is largely ignoring.
President Donald J. Trump was in an epic battle with the HHS for his entire administration, wanting the massive and overblown agency to make better choices to serve the American people, and the left absolutely freaked out at the notion that a Government institution was not just a jobs program for them and their cronies- but was actually meant to serve the American people- effectively.
~Snip~
In the ruling, the court said the HHS, led by former California Attorney General Xavier Becerra, illegally cut prescription drug reimbursements to hospitals by $1.6 billion per year in connection with a program that was established to help poorer patients.
POLITICO called Becerra, ‘Trump’s health nemesis’ in a 2020 article detailing how Becerra was put in place to reverse Trump’s health policy, making this smack down especially fun to watch for supporters of Trump’s America First policies.
“Becerra, a former House lawmaker, would enter Biden’s HHS without traditional health or management experience – but with immense power to undo Trump’s actions,” Politico reported.
~Snip~
SCOTUS overturned a lower court’s 2020 decision that the U.S. HHS had the authority to reduce by $1.6 billion the yearly Medicare payments for outpatient drugs that had helped subsidize the operations of hospitals catering to the poor and disabled.
“At issue in the case was how HHS set Medicare reimbursement rates for certain prescription drugs in its so-called 340B drug program. The hospital industry group challenged a Trump-era rule that reduced the rates,” CNN reported.
The unanimous opinion was written by Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

“Supreme Court steps into international custody dispute, giving lower courts more discretion The court said HHS acted unlawfully in how it went about varying the rates,” Jon Daughtery wrote for Conservative Brief on Tuesday, explaining the court’s decision.​

“In short, the statute allows HHS to set reimbursement rates based on average price and affords the agency discretion to ‘adjust’ the price up or down. But unless HHS conducts a survey of hospitals’ acquisition costs, HHS may not vary the reimbursement rates by hospital group,” Kavanaugh wrote.​

Commentary:
Unanimous means a few of the justices who aren’t even qualified in a real sense to be on the court still made a mistake and got it right.
Oh the horrors.
You won't see the Quisling MSM printing much about this because it makes Joe Biden and his handpicked Maoist buddies look bad. Especially Xavier Becerra. Here is HHS directly harming the very people they claim to help or care about. Obamacare hurt Americans by taking 20% of their take home pay, it is just so expensive.
Becerra and HHS did not interpret the statute. Becerra willfully directed and disregarded the law in order to promote their Progressive agenda.

How does the Supreme Court Ruling that Trump's program to cut reimbursements was 'blatantly illegal" have anything to do with Joe Biden.

Everything about that ruling was in opposition to the policies of the Trump Administration.

Trump loses in the Supreme Court AGAIN, in another 9-0 decision.

Roberts voted with the majority.

And this will drive the left insane....

The Court has little difficulty concluding also that the plain text of the Second Amendment protects Koch’s and Nash’s proposed course of conduct—carrying handguns publicly for self-defense. Nothing in the Second Amendment’s text draws a home/public distinction with respect to the right to keep and bear arms, and the definition of “bear” naturally encompasses public carry.
Moreover, the Second Amendment guarantees an “individual right to possess and carry weapons in case of confrontation,” id., at 592, and confrontation can surely take place outside the home. Pp. 23–24.

And you can hear left wing heads exploding on that one...
