128 Obamacare Waivers Handed Out in March

Obamacare is proving to be such a great law that some of its main proponents have been the primary recipients of waivers from the law. The Health and Human Services (HHS) department, led by the detestable Kathleen Sebelius, issued 128 Obamacare waivers in the month of March, which is far less than they've secretly issued in previous months. In total, 1168 organizations, with a majority being Obama's labor union allies, have received waivers to Obamacare.

The Obama administration, along with the HHS, explains that the waivers are temporarily granted "to help stabilize the insurance market until a fuller package of reforms takes effect in 2014." However, a vast majority of the American people are opposed to Obamacare, making the waivers a thorn in the side of the White House and liberals in Congress. In early February, 84% of all waivers went to unions, who staunchly support the monstrosity known as the "Affordable Care Act," which has slightly improved only because the cat was out of the bag.

Congressman Fred Upton (R - MI) has been one of the many representatives that has come down hard on Obamacare.

"The fact that over 1000 waivers have been granted is a tacit admission that the healthcare law is fundamentally flawed."

The waiver issue went largely under the radar late last year and still hasn't received much attention by the liberal media. The biggest issue regarding the waivers is that they've primarily went to White House allies, most notably the labor unions. This has been an ongoing trend with the Obama administration, which has a history of awarding its allies. This is directly inline with the phony stimulus bill that helped pay back his union friends for their votes during the election.

Late last week, an additional $5 billion was uncovered, which was intentionally hidden deep inside Obamacare. It provides 'appropriations' to organizations, many of which are again the labor unions, to pay for early retirees health care programs. Appropriations is the politically correct way saying it's a bribe.

What's clear from all of the backdoor deals to protect Democratic allies is that Obamacare has absolutely nothing to do with health care. These waivers have nothing to do with bridging the gap for mini-med plans. When Congressman Anthony 'Little' Weiner, one of Obamacare's biggest proponents, says he's looking for a waiver for New York City, what more proof does anyone need?

Repeal and replace this abortion before it really destroys America's health care system.
