These Agreements, and those made with Islamists and the House of Saud
to make all Moslems exempt, MUST forever remain Secret.
It's Kenyan and Scottish Law.

According to an official estimate by the Obama Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), at least 222 companies and unions have received waivers from Obamacare so far. Yet, as this number continues to soar, HHS refuses to explain to the American people how decisions are being made regarding which organizations receive a waiver and which do not.
One certainly cannot find any explanation in the Obamacare law itself. The Obama administration did not anticipate (despite repeated warnings) how much chaos would be created by the requirements of their massive healthcare overhaul. And so they have been forced to resort to a slapdash and politicized approach where officials at HHS are reviewing requests on a case-by-case basis with no set standards in place.
Now, here’s why this seemingly arbitrary and capricious policy is so dangerous: Companies able to secure these coveted Obamacare exemptions are given an unfair competitive advantage over their rivals — which, of course, blows the door wide open to influence peddling and corruption. Just yesterday, Karl Rove pointed out that the leftist Obama ally AARP, which spent millions on ads for Obama’s health “reform” effort, received an “extravagant gift” from Obama in the form of the very waivers Judicial Watch is investigating.

The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Those who have have political pull will prosper. The rest of us will drown.
Give everybody a waiver and forget the whole sorry mess.

Gee, I can't imagine how these decisions are made. Hhmm...let me think about this one for a while. It's a tough one....
The waivers are right out of Atlas Shrugged
Give everybody a waiver and forget the whole sorry mess.
It’s called ‘Repeal’.
Leftists' fear of losing a lawsuit to Judicial Watch ranks right between their fears of "being nibbled to death by dormice" and "being struck on the head by a falling Zeppelin".
Off the wall question:
Have they serve PORK in the White House since 2008?
Might be a dumb question now that I think about it.
Does Judicial Watch do anything besides sue for documents?
Yes, I’d love to know who was turned down.
Really. Have they ever DONE anything? I certainly hoped for 8 years they would get the goods on Clinton—but that went nowhere as far as I recall.
What happens to the companies employees who get waivers. Do they still get private insurance like our government.
This stinks to high heaven. It should be stopped immediately.

> That’s right! Only eight percent-—the least, by far, of the last 19 presidents! And these people are trying to tell our big corporations how to run their business? They know what’s best for GM, Chrysler, Wall Street, and you and me? And now most importantly the new health care bill will more closely resembles the european / canadian health system which is now trying to pattern itself to change to our former way of providing health care.

> How can the president of a major nation and society, the one with the most successful economic system in world history, stand and talk about business when he’s never worked for one? Or about jobs when he has never really had one? And when it’s the same for 92% of his senior staff and closest advisers? They’ve spent most of their time in academia, government and/or non-profit jobs or as “community organizers”. They should have been in an employment line.
