The Obamacare waiver train was exposed in early 2011, when the Manchurian was revealed to have been doing what all fascist demagogues do: exempt his friends from his diabolical socialist legislation (leaving the rest of us to suffer from it). But it has continued, of course.
Labor unions continued to receive the overwhelming majority of waivers from the president’s health care reform law since the Obama administration tightened application rules last summer.
Documents released in a classic Friday afternoon news dump show that labor unions representing 543,812 workers received waivers from President Barack Obama’s signature legislation since June 17, 2011. <source>
This is, of course, outrageous. But not surprising from a man who hates capitalism and seeks to transform the United States into a communist nation in which a small group of government fascist bureaucrats confiscate and control wealth for the benefit of friends and sycophants deemed lucky enough to lick their boots in exchange for scraps.
…unions backed the health care overhaul, a law from which nearly a half million of their workers are now exempt.
Does this make you furious?
So Glad you brought this information forward. What the hell is Obamacare fore if the backers are all exempt? No Barry O is being shifty and again he obviously understands nothing about leadership. Cut your friends loose of all obligation and hang this debt on the people who never wanted this in the first place. What a sorry SOS Barry O is.
“Does this make you furious?”
In a word, “Yes”.
No doubt!!
I’m not a raving fan of the Canadian single-payer system, but I do know what works well within it works well because of the fact that EVERYONE PAYS into it (unless your tax returns show you make less top-line than $13k/year.) I paid into it starting when I was 18 and have never stopped regardless of my age, employment status, whatever.
To try and introduce what is surely a move towards a single-payer system (BHO has basically said that’s what he wants) and then to exempt everyone (“everyone” = friends & contributors) robs Obamacare of whatever benefits it MIGHT have offered, and shows just how “Chicagoland” his politics are. Not to say that the so-called benefits were sustainable to begin with, but a move like this essentially guarantees that they can’t be sustained and won’t be sustained, either by the taxpayer or the providers.
And to think people were so worried about a Texan in the White House!
[...] I have tried many times to describe in artful ways how the big-government policies of would-be tyrants like Barack Obama slowly and sometimes quickly suck the lifeblood out of a nation. See for example, Obama’s Fascism: Impose Central Control (Obamacare) And Then Grant Waivers. [...]
