"Consequently the sons are exempt"

If Obamacare is so great, why would anyone even want to be granted a waiver from participation? The answer is related to the one for another question: Why do Obama supporters hate it when we call the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act "Obamacare"?

So this waiver-granting business has basically turned into sort of a protection scheme for the good fellas in the neighborhood. Here's an article on the blatant cronyism going on. Excerpt:

In a double standard befitting of Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s reign as the crowned queen of healthcare reform, high-end businesses in her Northern District of California are now receiving ObamaCare waivers.

According to news sources, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius awarded the exemptions to posh restaurants, upscale nightclubs and hotels in the heart of Pelosi’s district.

Did Pelosi finally read the bill that she helped ram down the throats of American businesses and individuals? The business owners in her district certainly did and they are opting out as fast as possible! Nearly 20% of the waivers awarded last month went to businesses in Pelosi’s district.

Just issued by HHS were 204 new waivers in addition to the nearly 1,200 “get-out-of-ObamaCare” waivers already granted to health care providers, drug companies and more favored unions representing over 3 million citizens in total. On Monday, U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-WY) called for every American to be granted a waiver.

Is Nancy Pelosi a member of the Sicilian Mafia, the Cosa Nostra? I don't know. She's probably eligible. Here's a better question someone should look into: Do they allow waivers in the U.K. and Canada for their socialized medicine system? Those are systems that the nanny statists in our country always coo over.

I would love to have an Obamacare waiver for my small business. My health insurance premiums went up $1,500.00 per year since Obamacare was signed. Go here if you want to apply for a personal waiver from Obamacare. Don't hold your breath waiting for it to come, especially if you have to pay for ambulances out-of-pocket.
