Kansas Returns a $32 Million ObamaCare Grant, Plus More Bad News for ObamaCare

Kansas Returns a $32 Million ObamaCare Grant, Plus More Bad News for ObamaCare

Posted by Michael F. Cannon

The debt deal was none too kind to ObamaCare. Here’s more bad news for this misguided law:
Kansas becomes the second state (after Oklahoma) to return to the federal government one of ObamaCare’s lavish “Early Innovator Grants.” Coming from Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius’s home state, that’s gotta hurt.
The latest ObamaCare eruption shows the law could cost $50 billion more per year than advertised. If anyone but the government sold you something like this, we’d put them in jail.
Many of the same Democrats who said it wasn’t a benefit cut when ObamaCare ratcheted down the price controls that government uses to pay health care providers now say it is a benefit cut when states do that.
