The law grants the secretary of the HHS incredible discretionary power, but it doesn’t grant them the ability to take away that power from a future HHS secretary. We have to repeal the law.

I place the odds of repeal at less than 1 in 3. Your opinion may differ.
If a tea party Secretary of HHS ...”our guy”...were to walk in this Jan 20 and dismantle the entire apparatus, and grant waivers to all 50 states, combined with half of the states or more choosing not to implement in one form or another, the worse a future Lefty SecHHS could do is resurrect the “bfd” in a handful of states. Not a bad fallback position if repeal falls short...

How about giving ALL of us waivers while they try to untangle this mess?
