Stories Causing Atlas to Shrug, August 15th 2014 Edition

7.2 million more Americans are dependent on Medicaid due to Obamacare. That is more than "bought" Obamacare plans with government subsidies. And here.

As many as 300,000 illegal aliens have received taxpayer dollars to buy Obamacare. Think we'll ever get that money back?

Study: California taxpayers cover 95% of state employee health costs.

The IRS failed to do background checks on some private contractors who handled confidential taxpayer information, exposing more than a million taxpayers to an increased risk of fraud and identity theft.

The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation released a new statistic, which states 8 out of every 10 law enforcement members are overweight.
