In a ruling largely ignored by the media, the U.S. Supreme Court decided that Democrat Joe Biden’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) violated prescription reimbursement standards for low-income patients.

President Donald J. Trump fought an epic battle with the HHS for the duration of his administration, urging the massive and bloated agency to make better decisions for the American people. The left was livid at the idea that a government institution was not merely a jobs program for them and their cronies, but was instead intended to serve the American people- effectively.

Left-leaning HHS staff, such as Joshua Prasad, resigned as a result of his skill.

In a separate resignation letter seen by POLITICO, Prasad urged the office’s acting chief to safeguard his colleagues’ work to defend LGBTQ health, increase tobacco control, and collect data on racial disparities, among other public health concerns. “I hope that you and your new teams will find a way to keep the ideas, leadership, and passions provided by our team alive.”

The left views this decision as a setback for Trump. This is why the Supreme Court’s move is so intriguing. If it was such a significant blow to Trump, why are the media and the left ignoring it? If this was a smackdown of Trump, wouldn’t they be cheering over the LGBTQ issues?

In the ruling, the court said the HHS, led by former California Attorney General Xavier Becerra, illegally cut prescription drug reimbursements to hospitals by $1.6 billion per year in connection with a program that was established to help poorer patients.

POLITICO called Becerra, ‘Trump’s health nemesis’ in a 2020 article detailing how Becerra was put in place to reverse Trump’s health policy, making this smack down especially fun to watch for supporters of Trump’s America First policies.

“Becerra, a former House lawmaker, would enter Biden’s HHS without traditional health or management experience – but with immense power to undo Trump’s actions,” Politico reported.

Politico added:

“California Attorney General Xavier Becerra was the chief legal nemesis of the Department of Health and Human Services for most of the Trump presidency.

Now the man who challenged President Donald Trump’s efforts to gut the Affordable Care Act, stop legal immigrants from using health programs, detain migrant children, and curb access to abortion is President-elect Joe Biden’s pick to run the agency he antagonized.” Read more…
