HHS and Home Heating

Now HHS Secretary has announced that the Department is "releasing" also known as spending some $200 million for home heating.

The Press Release states:

U.S. Department of Health and Human Services ... announced today the release of $200 million in emergency contingency funding to help eligible low-income homeowners and renters meet home energy costs. These Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) contingency funds will provide states, territories, tribes and the District of Columbia with additional assistance to pay heating and other home energy costs.

It is interesting to see that HHS is spending our money for fuel oil, since I never imagined how far the new health care plan really stretched!
