There have been hundreds of waivers to the provisions of Obamacare issued already by the HHS.
Romney has said that on day one he will issue a waiver to all 50 States from the whole thing.
There is nothing to stop him from doing this.
Absolutely. Seems in their rush to get this through they foolishly gave too much power to the Sec of HHS who answers to the Chief Exec. This makes the bill subject to the whim of the party in power and therefore constructed out of the thinnest of tissue paper. I think it will soon dawn on the left that the act is no longer a BFD. Hopefully in 4 short months...
That kind of tit for tat executive authority is a tyranny. Imagine the convulsions as one side or the other gets into the Imperial Presidency. What Romney should do:
1. Actively work to reduce and check the power of the Executive Branch. ie. Get Congress back to writing our laws and not the EB.
2. Grant waivers based on the belief that Congress will overturn Obamacare. Make Congress act like they’re supposed to.
