White House Grants New Round Of ObamaCare Waivers, Total Nears 1,500…

Waiver mania continues.

(Health Watch) — The Health and Human Services Department granted 39 new waivers last month from part of the healthcare law, bringing the total to just shy of 1,500.

In September, HHS will stop the process of granting a new batch of one-year waivers at the end of each month. Companies have until Sept. 22 to file their initial application for a one-year reprieve and seek an extension to carry them through the next three years.

Department officials said they decided on the September cutoff because, by then, every company that thinks it needs a waiver would have had time to apply. The comparatively low number of approvals in June may back up that explanation. The 39 new waivers granted last month bring the total to 1,471.

    If Obama gave us all waivers, we wouldn’t have a debt crisis.

    What is going to happen in 2012 when the Tea Party Candidates take all three branches and revokes every one of these so called waivers?

    Completely off topic here, but I wonder how Obama has been able to out-fund-raise the GOP field by, what? 300%?

    He also is in the habit of trading favors for political contributions. See the guy that sits next to him? His name is Jeff Immelt (GE). His company was dying a slow death until he hooked up with Obama. For a nominal fee, Obama arranged for General Electric to pay no taxes at all last year.
