Seriously, folks, if ObamaCare is so great why are so many states, companies and unions getting waivers? Why would they need waivers?

The New York Times reported:

The Obama administration said Wednesday that it had granted broad waivers to four states allowing health insurance companies to continue offering less generous benefits than they would otherwise be required to provide this year under the new federal health care law.

The states are Florida, New Jersey, Ohio and Tennessee, the administration told Congress.

Lawmakers said that many other states, insurers and employers needed similar exemptions from some of the law’s requirements and would seek waivers if they knew of the option. …

    IMHO, these waivers work just like hush money until they can completely implement “single payer”. Dear Leader will do anything it takes to do this.

    My spouse works for a company that is self insured. Her premiums have risen a net total of $100 per month. The only people getting the waivers are the ones who follow Obama around like a bitch in heat.

    The Democrats have gone AWOL in Wisconsin. The State Senate cannot vote because not a single Democrat has shown up for the vote. They have to have a least one Democrat physically in the chamber to carry on with the vote process. The police are looking for them. The have been ordered to the chamber, but have defied the order. What a bunch of malarky.
