Unions Make up 40% of Employees Exempted from ObamaCare…
Corrupt to the core.
(DC Examiner)- Yesterday, the Deparment of Health and Human Services announced it had granted more than 500 new waivers to Obamacare’s requirement that health plans have annual limits of no less than $750,000. This annual limit requirement climbs to $1.25 million next year and then to $2 million.
The reason these exemptions from the law are needed is that Obamacare forces all health insurance consumers to over-insure themselves and pay high premiums as a result. Without the waivers, many companies, non-profits and unions would simply drop their health plans. As of 2014, the waivers will no longer be available — at least, that’s the way the law is written.
It is worth noting that there are 166 union benefits funds now exempted from this requirement, which account for about 40 percent of the exempted workers. This means that although there are only 14.6 million unionized employees in the United States, and 860,000 of them are already exempted from this provision of Obamacare.

As the esteemed Maharushie pointed out today — these are only temporary. After he’s re-elected, he’ll put the hammer down and finish off the country economically.
I am in shock ZIP! Simply in shock! You mean to tell me the rules only apply to people not on the take! No way….

LOL no kidding ZIP…. We all know we are on the edge of a razor…. Our countries future is in the balance, let us pray it falls the “RIGHT” way. Amen
IMHO All candidates presidential, vice-presidential and majority speaker of the house must prove their natural citizenship to each state before running for that office or position.
10 states so far are proposing to adopt a law to cover this “birth” issue. Is your state one of them?
“As of 2014, the waivers will no longer be available — at least, that’s the way the law is written.” So, the need for waivers was ANTICIPATED in the law? The Congress had to write the law with a mechanism to treat the favored class — unions and other dem-rats — different from the rest of us?
Why am I not surprised?
“With liberty and justice for all” sure has changed since I was growing up. Now it’s more like “liberty and justice if you are well-connected.”
they need to suffer along with everyone else. No waivers!
I thought the unions loved and supported messiahcare…
My mistake. After all, what do I know? I’m just a nazi right wing scum who wants everyone to die asap.
The word corruption doesn’t even come close to describe this stinking mess that is Obama and friends.
-WTF-
If all the Sheeple would just get in line-

believers of America, see right thru his phoney bologna,
