GAO Warns on Mishandled Obamacare Funds

Billions of dollars lost

|

A new report from the General Accounting Office (GAO) suggests that federal officials are mishandling a prominent Obamacare program and taxpayers are suffering a huge loss because of it, one that exceeds billions of dollars.

Federal officials established the Prevention and Public Health Fund, under Obamacare, to distribute taxpayer money to each of the 50 states. In turn, officials in each state educate citizens on good nutrition habits.
