GOP Senators Introduce Bill to Block 'Bailout' of Obamacare Risk Program

On Friday, four Republican senators introduced a bill that would prevent the Obama administration from paying certain insurers in what they say amounts to a “bailout” of Obamacare.

Sens. Ben Sasse, Marco Rubio, John Barrasso, and Mike Lee wrote in a joint statement that their HHS Slush Fund Elimination Act would prevent the government from using “any…federal funds, to pay any final judgment, award or settlement compromise related to any lawsuits related to the [Affordable Care Act]’s risk programs.”
