Two of the people who pushed 0bamaCare, with bribes, kickbacks, exclusions, secret, closed door meetings, and rammed it down the throats of the nation................ and they get compliance waivers from the same legislation?????
Of the 204 new Obamacare waivers President Barack Obama’s administration approved in April, 38 are for fancy eateries, hip nightclubs and decadent hotels in House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s Northern California district.That’s in addition to the 27 new waivers for health care or drug companies and the 31 new union waivers Obama’s Department of Health and Human Services approved.
Pelosi’s district secured almost 20 percent of the latest issuance of waivers nationwide, and the companies that won them didn’t have much in common with companies throughout the rest of the country that have received Obamacare waivers.
The Health and Human Services Department announced late Friday that Nevada had secured a statewide waiver from certain implementation requirements of the Obama administration's health care law, because forcing them through, the department found, "may lead to the destabilization of the individual market."
I guess everyone gets something, 0bama got 31 new union waivers. I think 0bama, Pelosi and Reid are competing to see which of their constituents gets the most waivers FROM 0bamaCare.
Need to bring back the dual for politicians. If it worked for Aaron Burr. Make it a TV reality show. Let the Donald run the thing. Click, Your fired!!!!!
These people are disgusting!!!!
Weres the outrage on the left???
"Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators and Representatives; and, Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators and Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States".
You know the old saying..
"Not what you know but who you bl*w"!!!!
If 0bamaCare is supposed to reduce insurance and medical costs, why do we need thousands of waivers? And why are so many going to Pelosi, Reid and 0bama's union buddies and campaign donors? Are these waivers a way for democrats to drum up campaign donations???
On May 13, the Obama administration announced the approval of 204 new waivers from compliance with the PPAA (Obamacare). That brings to 1,372 the number of waivers HHS has granted in the 14 months since the law's passage.
How many people have applied and been denied a waiver, and for what reason? For that matter, why are 20% of the waivers in one congressional district?? I smell foul play here.
But while the identities of those who have received waivers have been disclosed, the administration has so far declined to reveal the names of those whose waiver requests were denied. Nor has HHS explained its criteria.
There are rumblings of suspicion that HHS has shown favoritism -- labor unions have received some 26 percent of waivers while comprising only 12 percent of workers.
A lot of power, to decide our fate, is being accorded to unelected bureaucrats in the executive branch. Think of the power the Health and Human Services Secretarty has been given:
In at least 700 separate instances, the legislation says that the Secretary of Health and Human Services "shall have discretion" to make rules implementing the law's often vague requirements.
These executives branch departments have turned into a fourth branch of government, and they have the power to write laws and regulations and enforce them. With 0bamaCare, the HHS has also been given the power to tax and punish anyone the HHS deems worthy of her scorn.
I don't care if you like universal health care or not, this 0bamaCare legislation very poorly written, gives too much power to unelected people, and is going to ruin this country.
Good thing that the Obama administration is such a beacon of light, compromise and transparancy to the world.
Once again, a fine example of how Obama pays back to those who back him and causes damage to those who don't. Good example of his claim to being a politically neutral figure who only cares for the good of the nation.
They KNOW full well that this legislation is a disatser and will hurt more people than help them. They are trying to save their political futures. Those 2 states are so damn dumb, they will vote those 2 azzwipes back in anyway.
