The Obama administration issues 111 healthcare waivers

I have written a couple of posts on the Obama regime issuing several healthcare waivers to billion dollar companies so that these companies would not have to comply with the new healthcare reform law–these companies include McDonald’s, Jack in the Box and 28 other large companies–but it now seems as if the list of companies the Obama regime has granted waivers to is actually much larger than we were led to believe–or that the regime cares to admit.

Fox News is now reporting that buried deep in the Health and Human Services’ website is the report that the Obama regime has actually granted 111 healthcare waivers to large companies and unions that will exempt them from the new healthcare reform law.

It seems odd to me that the president who claimed while he was campaigning that he would not coddle Wall Street while ignoring Main Street would first bailout Wall Street at the expense of Main Street and then turn around and grant some of the largest companies in America healthcare reform waivers so that they would not be subjected to his signature legislative accomplishment.

Meanwhile small companies who cannot afford to hire expensive lawyers to fight the healthcare reform law are going to have to adhere to the law. And while these large companies are being exempted from the healthcare reform law what happens to an individual American who either chooses not to have–or cannot afford to buy–healthcare coverage? The IRS punishes them with a tax penalty. Barack Obama is coddling big business while ignoring the plight of small companies and individuals who will be unfairly hit with expenses that the large companies are avoiding. It is the small businesses and individuals who are going to feel the impact of this legislation while the big companies–who are well represented–get away without paying what Barack Obama likes to call “their fair share.”

Can someone tell me how this new healthcare reform law–with all of the companies who theoretically should be the companies that can afford the new healthcare expenses are exempted, while those that cannot are to be punished–is fair? And can somebody tell me how this law makes insurance affordable to those that already can’t afford it?

The fact that so many companies have asked for and been granted waivers to exempt themselves from the healthcare law show us how ill conceived this law was in the first place. Perhaps if anybody had bothered to read the bill before it was passed they would have seen how disastrous this bill was, but Nancy Pelosi claimed that the Congress had to pass the bill before anyone could see what was in it. So that is exactly what they did and now we are seeing what is in it, and unless you are a large company or a union member who will not have to adhere to the new law, it is proving to be a monstrosity.
