The
Obamissariat's Friday document dump contained the final list of
Obamacare
waivers. There will continue to be waivers granted, but the
Direktor
will no longer name them. This in accordance with the
Administration's Most Open
Government Ever policy.
"Friday
marks the last time HHS will have to update the total number of
waivers, putting to rest a recurring political firestorm."
Here's what else we've learned.
- Obamacare is so flexible that members of
Congress are exempt. Congress has a waiver.
- All told, 1,231 companies applied for and
received waivers from the law’s restrictions on annual benefit caps
- The 96 denied waivers were to companies that
supported the GOP and or said something bad about the Obamacare.
- When added together, the healthcare waivers
excuse about 4 million people, or about 3 percent of the population,
from having to participate, HHS said.
- Labor unions
representing 543,812 workers received waivers
- Private employers with a total of 69,813
employees, many of whom work for small businesses, were granted
waivers.”
Waivers
Shmavers
- All waivers expire in 2014. Too late then,
schmucks.
In fairness. an Administration supporter explains their position.

You
hate filled republicans who think this is going to get repealed are
NUTS!!! Democrats are making huge strides all across the nation in
local elections, and more Americans than ever are demanding ECONOMIC
JUSTICE, HEALTHCARE JUSTICE, and OVERALL FAIRNESS in our society. Its
time for a re-balancing of our nation's wealth, even if the top 1%,
rich republican elitists don't think so.
The top
tax rate needs to be taken to 60% for those getting anything
more than $100k (which is DOUBLE what the average family of 4 in
America gets)…with the help of global "occupy" movements, us Democrats
will re-take the house in 2012, and push through REAL reform!!!BY
