Obamas base is McDonalds employees.

So, the bill allows the President to pick and choose who must comply with the new regulations and who is allowed to be exempt.

I wonder if we will see big campaign contributions from McDonalds in the near future?

[American Constitutionalist]

Since they have allowed these wavers, they will have to take out the of the HealthCare legislation the fines that the government will impose on people for failing to get the Healthcare plan.... can't grant wavers to some, and then, fine others.

Rule of a dictator, this is NOT Rule of Law.

[Right Wing Assault]

The waivers issued so far include the policies offered by McDonald’s to its fast-food workers, typically capped at just a few thousand dollars, sold by a profit-making company owned by Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans.

Imagine! An insurance company trying to make a profit! What nerve. Good catch, NYT!

UnConstitional = Equal Protection Clause - Another series of legal suits will follow in the courts. The new name is ObummerCare - Change in Healthcare Delivery Means Rationing

[wetgundog]

This behavior is NOT DEFENSIBLE in a court of LAW.

Where the f is equal protection?

Obamacare will be ruled null, void, and UNCONSTITUTIONAL

The quicker the better

The payoffs to the DNC were adequate.

[Incorrigible]

I don’t know if it’s possible to be shocked anymore.

How does the Exective Branch get this type of arbitrary power?

[Hoodat]

And for the umpteenth time, Democrat reveals his contempt and loathing for Equal Protection under the law.

[yldstrk]

ah the benevolent dictator

only those who I say have to follow the law have to follow the law

[lovecraft]

This was a move by Obama and the HHS to avoid the bad press of having hundreds of thousands of low wage workers losing what little bit of coverage they had. Plain and simple.
They were hell bent on close to 2 million people having their coverage legislated out of existence. It’s only the fact that McDonald’s threw their weight around and was going to cause a stink to save their 30,000 part-time and hourly employee’s coverage that HHS backed off.

Sitting in the wings we’re about million and a half more part-time, low wage, and temporary workers in the same boat. HHS was hoping to get away with this, but McDonald’s called them out on it.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

A nation of tiny, self-serving man-children, not of laws.

[expatpat]

Selective laws are a violation of the Constitution and the Equal Protection clause. They are also a strong invitation to bribery and other forms of corruption.

[browniexyz]

The “waivers” to the law give the law an air of legitimacy in the first place. I strongly object to that and condemn all the idiot lawyers who had anything to do with helping companies obtain the “waivers” instead of questioning the legitimacy of the law.
