Obamacare Donor-Gate Scandal Looming Over White House
THE NEXT KENYAN CABAL ILLEGAL ACTION IN THE SERIES OF CROOKED SHADY DEALINGS BY OBAMA AND CREW. SO HOW MUCH MORE DO YOU NEED ?
A group members of the U.S. House of
Representatives have sent Secretary of the Department of Human and
Health Services, Kathleen Sebelius, a letter questioning her reported
actions of soliciting donations from non-profit organizations that are
“directly implementing” Obamacare.
Florida’s Representatives Ileana
Ros-Lehtinen, Jeff Miller, Bill Posey and Trey Radel are among the 26
members of Congress who penned their signatures on the letter to
Sebelius.
The letter asks Secretary Sebelius if
she indeed made the calls,how many did she make? In addition, Sebelius
was asked if Department resources were used, and how much money was
raised?
If it is confirmed that Sebelius did
solicit funds from organizations, who are tasked to implement Obamacare,
could this be another Obama scandal in the making?
NOW THEY ARE GOING AFTER MICHELLE BACHMANN...
House committee to probe Sebelius soliciting money for ObamaCare signups
House Republicans are starting a probe into Health and Human Services
Secretary Kathleen Sebelius soliciting donations from companies her
agency might regulate, to help sign up uninsured Americans for
ObamaCare.
Sebelius in recent weeks has asked various charitable foundations,
businesses executives, churches and doctors to donate money to nonprofit
organizations, such as Enroll America, that are helping to implement
President Obama's health care overhaul.
The agency said Friday there is a special section within the Public
Health Services Act that allows the secretary to solicit financial
support for nonprofit organizations conducting public health work.
However, the solicitations, through speeches and phone calls, have
raised questions about whether a federal official can ask for money from
groups he or she oversees.
The Republican-led House Energy and Commerce Committee began a probe
by sending a letter Monday to Sebelius and groups that she might have
contacted.
The letter to Sebelius asks her to provide several pieces of
information by May 27 related to the solicitations, including names of
those contacted “in this unusual fundraising pitch” as well as phone
logs and whether other agency officials were involved.
Committee Chairman Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich., said: “Despite HHS’
insistence that the secretary did not directly ask for funds, one source
said, ‘There was a clear insinuation by the administration that the
insurers should give financially to the nonprofits.’ ”
The 11 companies receiving letters include insurance groups Cigna,
Kaiser Permanente, United Healthcare and Blue Shield of California.
“Please describe the substance of the communications,” the letter states in part.
