ObamaCare Arrives in Michigan

Yesterday, the Government Accountability Office released a list of contracts worth more than $700 million awarded to consultants to “assist in implementing” the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, aka ObamaCare.

One Michigan organization, the Physicians Health Plan of Mid Michigan, received two contracts totaling $23.4 million, for which it has already been paid $1.8 million.

The riches available from ObamaCare to consultants, information technology firms and other vendors are already beginning to flow, creating “winners” who henceforth will use all the lobbying and political muscle they can command to keep the loot flowing.

Here is the complete list for the entire nation.
