sense. >> austan, we just got some news from the white house that i'll need your help in interpreting. it's a statement from the press secretary that reads as follows. based on the guidance from the department of justice, the department of health and human services has concluded that there is no appropriation for cost sharing reduction payments to insurance companies under obamacare. in light of this analysis, the government cannot lawfully make the cost sharing reduction payments. the court agreed that the payments were not lawful. the bailout of insurance companies through these unlawful payments is a further example of how the previous administration used the law to prop up a broken system.
