The Daily Caller reported today that the Obama administration has approved more than 1300 waivers from the new health care law's requirements. I am wondering why, if the legislation is so good, so many waivers are being granted. The article reported that less than 100 requests for waivers have been turned down. Do you also notice that many of the strong supporters of the bill are the ones getting waivers?
In April, 204 waivers were approved. Thirty-eight waivers, about 20 percent of them, were for businesses in Nancy Pelosi's Congressional District. Wow.
The article states that all waivers will be eliminated by 2014. Notice that will be after the 2012 presidential election.
The bottom line here is very simple--we need to repeal Obamacare and start over with a system that includes tort reform, competition, and gives the states the ability to suit healthcare programs to their needs.
