Come on people, we went from "Obamacare" was going to kill your grandma to "oh my goodness they are exempting companies for an extended time." I'm seeing how the right's lies and distortions about health care regulations are crumbling.

Hmmmm.... what lies would that be? It looks pretty simple to me. A huge list of companies have been exempted. Where is the lie? Where is the distortion? How would YOU describe it?

And why exempt if it's such a good plan ????? That's a question, not a lie or a distortion.

Lots of accurate information there.

As for the waivers (NOT exemptions):

[1] Yes, unions {gasp!} have applied for and have been granted waivers. So too have health insurance providers, corporations, and state governments.

[2] The waivers are for one year. After one year, the organization can apply for another one-year waiver.

[3] The waiver are temporary. All waivers end January 1, 2014. See: Annual Limit Waivers | HHS.gov

[4] As of January 1, 2014, all new and existing health care plans must include no annual limit on coverage.

[5] As of January 1, 2014, tax credits for individuals, and other subsidies, as well as tax credits for small businesses, will help make the health plans in the various health exchanges more affordable.

So you want to steal my money instead? You can't have it both ways. Either you take responsibility for yourself and buy insurance or accept your fate.
