Democrat Ami Bera Refuses To Rule Out Insurance Company Bailout
February 19, 2014
Yesterday, Ami Bera refused to oppose a taxpayer-funded bailout of big insurance companies stuck with expensive policies due to the failure of young people to enroll in ObamaCare. The bailout, known as the “risk corridor” provision, allows for the government to use taxpayer dollars to cover insurance company losses.
Bera replied, “I think we have to be flexible.”
This isn’t the first time Bera has put the interests of big business ahead of families. Bera voted to delay ObamaCare’s employer mandate but refused to vote to delay the individual mandate.
