ObamaCare: The granting of 500 more exemptions to unions, companies and even states begs the question — why is "affordable health care for all Americans" neither affordable nor for everybody?
The Obama administration has become famous for its crony capitalism, in which companies like General Electric were rewarded while energy companies, for example, were cast into the outer darkness. Now we have what might be called crony health care, with the favored escaping the full consequences of ObamaCare while the rest of us deal with the rising costs and reduced service.
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi once told us we'd have to pass ObamaCare to see what was in it. Now it turns out we have to wait for its implementation to see who is in it. The issuance of more than 500 additional waivers to its draconian mandates by Health and Human Services makes the case for repeal even stronger.
It is a system where everyone is equal, but some are more equal than others. We were told everyone had to be in it, everyone had to be forced to buy government-approved insurance for ObamaCare to work.
As Emily Litella used to say on "Saturday Night Live": "Never mind."
Unions, including the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), are particularly favored in this charade. Unions represent 6.9% of the private work force, yet 40% of the workers covered by these waivers are union members.

Oh, we’ll get our WAIVER....when it’s REPEALED!
Mass waivers are an “Equal Protection” violation.
I’m really starting to think that the USSC will overturn this. The law is too chaotic.
You’d think. .
Either a waiver for anyone or jam it down everyone’s (including congress) throat.
I believe it will too
5/4, 4 of them like chaos.
It is all a scam or sham. Take your pick.
Waivers are quid pro quo and a way for the government to influence business through cronyism. We are fools to think otherwise.
Either we all suffer together or we all get waivers. That way everyone will feel the pain and something will be done about Obamacare.
The power to grant waivers = The power to deny waivers.
That's bad for winning the future.
***** “Oh, we’ll get our WAIVER....when it’s REPEALED!” *****
Correct .... Not Replaced, Not Fixed just REPEALED !
Thank you very much

Report: Bill would reduce senior care Medicare cuts approved by House may affect access to providers

Why this isn't already in the legal system challenging the Constitutional violation of equal protection, is beyond me.
The Constitution restrains central government, and this monster violation is entirely the Federal government's doing.
This is corruption of government in raw form. This is the type of government that the statists drool over. If you want something, anything, you have to grovel at the feet of the statists and please the masters, whatever they so desire.
