Number of Obamacare Waivers Now Tops 1,000
Gateway Pundit ^ | March 6, 2011 | Jim Hoft

In November the Obama Administration had already granted 111 Obamacare waivers to special US companies… And, they hid this information from the American public. It took 6 clicks to find out this information on the government’s health care website.

By January the number of companies granted Obamacare waivers jumped from 229 to 729 covering over 2.2 million employees. At least three SEIU Chapters, including one in Chicago, were included on the list.

IMHO these actions are criminal. Newt should get out the Impeachment brochure. Look under ‘High Crimes and Misdemeanors”.

Equal Protections!!!

Either we all get Waivers or Nobody get waivers! Congress should start taking away these waivers and speaking out against this..

That alone should be enough for the SCOTUS to declare it unconstitutional on yet another front - ‘ it's not “equal protection under the law”

Everyone but the friends of the socialists MUST pay or be jailed and fined. (and with those hundreds of thousands not having to pay, how much MORE will the reast of be billed to make up for it?

don't sound too equal?

Recognizing, to begin, that ObamaCare is unconstitutional, Congress needs to make exemptions unlawful. This creates an unlevel playing field...like liberals care about that.

In addition, Nebraskans need to be stripped of their exemption from payments, and Louisiana needs to give back their goodies.

I wonder why these companies and unions were waivered while so many small buisnesses and Americans must shoulder the higher costs that Obamanation will lay on their shoulders to break their backs. 10 to 1 that obamas re-election coffers will be bursting with “donations” from the waivered companies and unions that will kiss his butt for money.

Then we all should apply and GET waivers.

Otherwise, it is just a way to create a two tier country, the protected and the raped.

“Where on earth is the vaunted “watchdog press” on this issue?????”

Busy getting their own waivers. DeathCare is for the little people.

Of course they make you want to vomit. They never have and never will care about this country, commie traitors all.

14th Amendment 1868

“Section. 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

This must be that “Living, Breathing Constitution” the Dems keep telling us is the real thing.

Well if they waive everybody that will take care of the problem. Nobody will be on Obamacare.
