If this bill was the be-all, end-all that Pelosi & Friends made it out to be, absolutely ZERO waivers would have had to be issued.

Waivers are BS, subsidies are BS. If a law isn’t good for ALL, it isn’t good for ANY.

Exactly. Just the fact that the "law" can be "waived" by administration for individuals, groups of individuals (unions etc.), organizations, cities, or entire states (e.g., Nevada, New Hampshire, Maine) shows that the law should be struck down as unconstitutional as it violates the "Equal Protection Under the Law" Clause.

If a waiver can be granted / dispensed as a political favor, it is nothing less than crony socialism, nothing more than a lawless corrupt scheme... but it is no longer a "law".

The existence of these waivers could be either an enhancement of an argument against illegal federal individual mandates in existing or new lawsuits against ObamaCare, or an argument in court to invalidate the waivers from administration.

Let those who wanted ObamaCare live with it, in full compliance, without waivers, and feel the full force of the "law".
