I heard that one of these health-related organizations that helped to craft the healthcare bill for the Administration then asked for [and got] one of these waivers for their people ...
If the US passes a law that then requires the government to issue over two hundred waivers in the first few months to avoid disastrous consequences for enforcement, doesn’t that indicate a problem in the law itself?

This problem is not isolated to just the Health Care fiasco!
On another post of mine I ask .. Why is it that some folks will get extended welfare checks (UI) while others .. get nothing!?
No way, it indicates how thoughtfully the Demorats crafted this lawsuit so they could give out favors to the big guys as BF the little guys.
Some are more equal than others.
Nowhere in the article does it mention how much these companies had to contribute to Ubama 2012 in order to get these waivers.
How many of those getting waivers contributed to the Obama campaign or to one of those ObamaCare fronts?
The GOP needs to publish the list of all those entities that were granted exemptions. This should be attached to the bill repealing this mess. Let Hussein and the progressive/marxists defend the indefensible.
I don't know. How large of a contribution to the DNC do you have to make in order to get a waiver?
It’s how Chicago politics works. There may have been no money changing hands, yet. In the short term the administration doles out waivers. When they need favors, then the waivers become “due”.
Alternatively, when the heat is off, waivers must be “renewed”. In other words outstanding waivers are like money in the bank.
I’m hoping some FBI task force has the foresight to keep certain phone lines under constant surveillance. Sure would be sweet to have a tape of a dunning call.
SCOTUS had better hear this. If refused, Hussein’s dictatorship is a fait accompli.
What ever happened to the XIV Amendment, equal protection clause ?
It’s the redistribution thing.
Never ends
There is no such thing as a waiver from a law. If a law is valid, no one has a right to grant a waiver, not the congress, not the president.
What he is doing is telling his “justice” department not to prosecute certain specific companies. That is selective enforcement, which invalidates the law.
It seems like this could form the basis of another lawsuit to bring Obamacare down, something about unequal protection under the law.
I still ask “who has been denied a waiver?” They are the ones who need to attack this in court.
(doesn’t that indicate a problem in the law itself?)
No. It indicates they’re cashing in their political chips. So where’s the waivers for the other 28 million small businesses in this country? There’s no provision for waivers in the bill.
Get the popcorn ready!
