Where is the White House getting the money for ObamaCare’s “tech surge”?

Budget request denied, Sebelius turns to health executives to finance.

 

Sebelius told Congress this afternoon that she will indeed agree to testify about the O-Care rollout — just not this week, as she has a scheduling conflict. Here’s a question for her when she does via Byron York: How are they paying for this all-hands-on-deck salvage operation of Healthcare.gov, which even The One himself described as a “tech surge” in the Rose Garden today? I’m not asking that rhetorically, either. Appropriations can be very confusing; plenty of people watching the “defund” pageant play out assumed, I think, that a shutdown would mean choking off funding for ObamaCare until it was over. Not so, but you can understand why that mistaken impression might be had. Maybe York and I — and John Cornyn — are similarly mistaken and there’s an obvious source of funds for the “surge,” but if so, what?

  1. 650 million for a 10 year old out of date program. My brother does IT for a major hospital and agreed on a quote that I had heard that this program could have been done for 10 k. Some cronies are lining their pockets.
