Koch Industries has received $1.4 million from the federal government
under Obamacare’s Early Retiree Reinsurance Program.
The $5 billion reinsurance program gives subsidies to corporations who
provide health insurance to their retirees who are not yet eligible for Medicare.
I wasn’t aware of this provision of Obamacare—it seems like a
gratuitous handout to corporations, just one of many, the details of power
politics can be ugly….
The other ugly thing is the Koch Brothers taking cash under the
auspices of Obamacare, at the same time as they spend their millions to fight
Obamacare and derail the federal government.
The Koch Brothers are powerful and malicious, an ugly warp in the
fabric of our politics.
