Hate to tell you, but this has absolutely nothing to do with obamacare.

just like the Colorado state employee caught with healthcare fraud.
But it furthers the anti-obamcare narrative.

Sooo, why don't you explain it instead of making a naked assertion?

I'm confused. I think Ryan White payments are from a government program that provides a subsidy based on poverty level guidelines to pay for insurance or treatment not covered by the insurance.
Obamacare also provides subsidies based on poverty level guidelines to pay for insurance that is supposed to cover treatment for any illness, including HIV/AIDS.
So wouldn't using Ryan White subsidies to pay for subsidized Obamacare sort of be double-dipping?

"The worry was that a hospital, for instance, would sign up and pay (Obamacare) premiums for their uninsured patients," said law professor Mark Hall of Wake Forest University. If a hospital also steered patients toward an insurer that includes it in its network, the hospital would turn a charity patient into a paying one, something CMS regards as a form of prohibited self-dealing.

You should really read the article. It is well-written and ihmo, balanced.
This is an interesting issues with competing interests. Helping those with AIDS on the one hand, and preventing fraud and abuse on the other.
I hope they (CMS) can thread this needle and soon.
And it very much has to do with Obamacare.

Wait a minute. So it's preferable that the patient remain uninsured and untreated, rather than have a hospital pay the premium and then...**GASP**...profit from it?
ETA: I understand the Stark implications this raises and its potential for abuse, but for specfic, dibilitating disease groups this is not an unreasonable solution. Who else has the incentive to pay their premiums if the patients can't?

Paying and insured always seems better than treated for free.
