"They're small. I couldn't speak to all 1,800 of them, but some of the lists that I have seen have been very, very small companies. They will not have a big impact on the economy of our country," Nancy Pelosi said in an interview with CNBC.

McDonalds, one of the nation's largest employers in recent years, has received a waiver.

This is one of the many problems with Obama care everyone is treated differently some people will pay alot for little or no care, some people will pay a little for the same care and some will pay nothing for the same care. I despise Obama and his minions and I hope they will be dealt with accordingly

So Nancy. Are they all small businesses now? What a blithering idiot. What does that say about the people to vote um in?

You can’t fix stupid. But you can elect them I guess.

This has to be tops amongst a distinguished list of one-liners that she’s let fly in recent times.

I'm not ready to accept your assertion before accepting that as fact. Your word is useless.

Just give us the complete freaking list and let us judge for ourselves.

What?
Your dog ate the list?

McDonalds is a pretty small companY from what i have heard.

There are a few other tiny corps on the list that i cannot recall at the moment.

The question is, how much did these ‘small’ companies donate to O’s campaign?

If Obamacare is so great, why are waivers necessary for small businesses?

Oops, that’s the law Nancy Pelosi didn’t read and challenged us to “find out what’s in it.”

Its not applicable to the job creators in this country!

"They're small companies"

What about families, Pelosi, you disgusting, fossilized stretch mark?
We're "small", too. Can we get "waivers" from rationed communist health care, too?

“....very, very small companies.”

Yep like McDonalds. They are led by RAT Party-Donating CEOs and that’s all one needs to know.

Everything Zero’s admin does is some version of paying themselves over and over again with our money.

I should have added that this money laudering scheme is not rocket science (partly because the RATS long ago sold/gave the Chinese our rocket science for payola).

Question...
Company A is given an exemption.
They don’t have to pay the premiums starting next year? What about the employees?
Us other poor schmucks will pay for 2 years prior to the ‘benefits’ kicking in.

Let’s say company A decides to join Zer0care in 2015.
Will they have to pay 3 year’s worth back premiums or not?
