Why would this exemption exist in Obamacare? Judge Napolitano makes it clear so obama can reward his supporters and PUNISH his enemies. This puts a new perspective as to why so many companies have been silent with the disaster rollout. We know insurance companies are being bullied into silence, well adding this to the list explains why medical device, pharmaceutical etc companies have been quiet!

That's odd. Our pharmacy offers $20 for new customers but people on Medicare, Medicaid, or with Tricare are not eligible due to anti-kickback laws. We just received a letter saying that people who have insurance through the ACA also aren't eligible due to the same reason.

Without facts it's just made up stuff.
The Affordable Care Act is the biggest new health care program in decades, but the Obama administration has ruled that neither the federal insurance exchange nor the federal subsidies paid to insurance companies on behalf of low-income people are “federal health care programs.”
The surprise decision, disclosed last week, exempts subsidized health insurance from a law that bans rebates, kickbacks, bribes and certain other financial arrangements in federal health programs, stripping law enforcement of a powerful tool used to fight fraud in other health care programs, like Medicare.
“The secretary’s decision will have some very significant consequences,” said D. McCarty Thornton, former chief counsel to the inspector general at the Health and Human Services Department. “The federal anti-kickback statute will, in most cases, not apply to subsidized health plans or the items and services furnished by those plans.”
“Plans and providers are very happy to be relieved of that concern,” Mr. Thornton added

What, a Judge isn't a valid source? Can you explain how this one works?

I don't see any link or source or reference to any statement from a judge - just a made up blog post.
Show me an actual public statement from this judge, then I'll listen to it. Show me the reference in the actual Law, then I'll listen.
We all know how 'truthful' FAUX News is.
It's a shame how many people believe things just because they want them to be true or just parrot this kind of thing. Just because it's written down doesn't make it true.edit on 10-11-2013 by FyreByrd because: (no reason given)

Want some good reading? How about 100% proof that the Associated press VP of photography said that Obama 100% controls the press photos of the WH via propaganda. Visit the top link in my signature. You see the Obamanites never believe anything. So read that and knock your socks off, then come back to mother earth. :p

The Judicial Department will no longer be required to enforce the Anti-kickback
Our only option at this juncture is FULLY support all Tea Party candidates in House, Senate elections in 2014, 2016.
This is something you will not be hearing about in the MSM.
