The Dual Israeli Citizen Koch Brothers Received Millions in Obamacare Subsidies

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

Vatic Note: This is NOT a right or left issue. In fact, almost nothing is anymore. Its all now becoming an American people vs terrorists in America’s leadership “issue”. We experienced many of the same problems under Bush Jr. and they were continued under Obama as were many of his handlers. That tells you there is a force behind both parties that is dictating policy. I believe we all know who it is and its not the Vatican as promoted in the protocols of 1897.

Yes, the Vatican, just like every other religion has been infiltrated, but then so have other areas of expertise, such as Universities, science, Corporations etc. Notice below, that these brothers opposed the Obama Affordable Care Act while also applying for the grants. That is hypocracy, which are shades of the Pharisees and Sadducees as Jesus used to point out frequently.

That means your tax dollars are going to line the pockets of multi-billionaires who PAY NO TAXES. Imagine how quickly the corporate economic system, if you want to call it that, would collapse if those subsidies were to stop. Worse are the no bid contracts to favored non goyim corporations. Bechtel comes to mind, Exxon, BP, and others.

Exxon had record profits and paid little or no taxes. No wonder the country is in trouble. To me, this is criminal fraud upon the American people. How dare they benefit from our largess and then do not contribute their fair share which is the only share mentioned in the Constitution eligible for taxation. Now how bizarre is that? Its not just the Koch brothers, but other big international corporations. We haven’t even touched on the trade agreements floating around right now that would rape and pillage American industries by foreign international corporations.

Koch Brothers Received Millions in Obamacare Subsidies

harles and David Koch may have spent millions of dollars opposing President Obama’s Affordable Care Act, but that didn’t stop them from benefiting from the law.

The Associated Press reported on Tuesday that Koch Industries received $1.4 million in subsidies from a $5 billion program established by the Affordable Care Act to help employers and states maintain coverage for individuals 55 and older who are not yet eligible for Medicare.

ThinkProgress first noticed that Koch applied for the program in August of 2010, along with other critics of the law, including state-run programs in Texas and more than a dozen members of the board of directors of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which has spent millions to support Republican causes.

Ironically, in 2011, House Republicans issued a press release characterizing the early retiree grants as “a $5 billion bailout fund for state governments, Fortune 500 companies, and Hollywood unions.”

“Like many provisions and accounting gimmicks in the health care law, it has largely escaped public scrutiny because of the sheer volume of programs and spending crammed into the law without scrutiny or Congressional oversight,” the Republicans on the Energy and Commerce Committee wrote a year after Koch and other prominent funders applied and received grants from the program.

The Early Retiree provision resembles one passed by Republicans in 2003, which gave subsidies to employers who offered drug coverage to their retirees before the Medicare Part D program went into effect in 2006.

As the New York Times explained, the goal then was the same as it is today, “to discourage those employers from terminating those programs, which would have saddled the government and seniors with higher costs.”

This isn’t the first time critics of the law have taken advantage of its provisions. Just last week, Republican members of Congress praised the Obama administration for keeping open a call center dedicated to enrolling people into the law after the initial enrollment period, while others have requested grants funded under the ACA. Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) even encouraged some Texans to sign-up for coverage in the federally-run health care exchange in an effort to save the state money.
