Perfect example of wasteful spending that everyone around here whines about!

I hope the voters remember when they vote that the Dems voted against this. They have been distancing themselves from the President because Obamacare is hurting their reelection chances. But the distancing is pretend-obviously because when it really comes down to it they still want Obamacare. They want it both ways. The Dems still want people to believe what they say- which is not what they do.

Look back just three years:

"The Unraveling Of Obamacare"

‎10‎/‎12‎/‎2010‎

Excerpt:

"Thirty companies and organizations get waivers from the new health care overhaul because otherwise they'd have to raise rates or drop coverage. The president said neither would happen. Hey, where's our waiver?

After telling federal regulators that it would be "economically prohibitive" for its insurance carrier to continue to cover its 30,000 hourly workers unless it received a waiver for its mini-med plans, McDonald's now has waivers for 115,000 workers, not just 30,000.

Jack in the Box also has a waiver, as do 28 other companies and organizations.

The largest waiver, for 351,000 people, is for, appropriately enough, a union -- specifically the United Federation of Teachers Welfare Fund.

The United Agricultural Benefit Trust, a California-based cooperative that provides such low-cost minimal coverage to farmworkers, was allowed to exempt 17,347 workers. Even what has been dubbed RomneyCare gets a waiver, with Massachusetts' universal health coverage bureaucracy.
