Friday Afternoon News Dump: White House Issues Another 200 ObamaCare Waivers…
Bringing the total number of waivers to the greatest healthcare plan in the history of the world to 1,372.
(The Hill) — The Obama administration approved 204 new waivers to Democrats’ healthcare reform law over the past month, bringing the total to 1,372.
The waivers are temporary and only apply to one provision of the law, which requires health plans to offer at least $750,000 worth of annual medical benefits before leaving patients to fend for themselves. Still, Republicans have assailed the waivers as a sign of both favoritism and of major problems with the law.
“The fact that over 1,000 waivers have been granted is a tacit admission that the healthcare law is fundamentally flawed,” Energy and Commerce Chairman Fred Upton (R-Mich.) said in March. Upton is one of three House committee chairmen who has used new oversight powers to investigate the annual limit waivers.

What. You mean O’Fuckstick Care isn’t good enough for his buddies. Well now isn’t that a fine kettle of fish.
The new Republican President in 2013 should keep Democratic policies in place long enough to eviscerate the Democratic party.
After repeated attacks on the democratic party using their own distortions of our republic, they will eventually draft legislation to remove the extra ‘POWERS’ added by the Obama administration.

To hell with Obama and Obamacare … I’m tired of hearing about this..
Let’s just fire up our damn engines and get rid of this POS.
I’m so sick of hearing about this scumbag.
The most corrupt administration in History. This shall be the content of Books in the Future. How this Bozo is still in charge is beyond all reasoning.
Lets issue a waiver on the whole f#cking thing…
Pass a horrendous bill and then reward you friends with a waiver. Corrupt, indeed.
Who do I have to blow to get a waiver to bypass the “obumbler administration”?
With the money I save, I can buy new friends.
This really begs the question: will there be more “health care” waivers than Chevy Volts sold this year??
Sounds fair lol
@satchmo22, that’s not even gonna be a contest, the Volt is already 1371 behind.
