Obamacare waiver pandemic

[coadie]

The Department of Health and Human Services just issued 500 more waivers for unions, companies, and states to avoid some of the many restrictions and mandates contained in Obamacare.

So I can get a flu shot at Walmart and look for a table next to that and file for an Obamacare waiver?

If Obama care was so nifty , why waivers by the hundreds and soon to be thousands? And unions are squeezing to the front of the line.

Who in the world are "they"? I think "they" have things backward, "they" must have got the saying from the Democrat headquarters back in the 60's. The only ones that I have heard to say, "let them starve" has come from the mouth of a republican.

What are waivers?

Waivers only last for one year and are only available if the plan certifies that a waiver is necessary to prevent either a large increase in premiums or a significant decrease in access to coverage. In addition, enrollees must be informed that their plan does not meet the requirements of the Affordable Care Act. No other provision of the Affordable Care Act is affected by these waivers: they only apply to the annual limit policy.

As of today, a total of 733 waivers have been granted for 2011. Key facts about annual limits waivers:

There was an increase in the number of applications received at the end of 2010 because December 1 was the final day to apply for a waiver for a plan or policy year that begins on January 1 – as many plans do. Over 500 waivers were granted in December. While the number of approved waivers increased by more than 200 percent, the total number of enrollees in plans receiving waivers has increased by only 48 percent since the previous posting.

Prevent a large increase in premiums?

You mean we were lied to?

Obama said premiums would fall by 3000%. The unions and the minions agreed. In fact Henry Waxman tried to imtimidate companies that announced the truth and said premiums would go up.

Praise the Lord Waxman has been removed from leadership.\

Waxman scheduled show trial. I guess he found out companies would tell the truth and Dems wouldn't want truth top leak out.

Immediately after President Obama signed his health-care bill into law, several large companies disclosed to investors just how big the tax hit from it would be. AT&T, for instance, said that the law’s tax increases alone would cost the company $1 billion.

Key committee chairman Rep. Henry Waxman, California Democrat — whose energetic investigations are loathed by many in Washington — demanded reams of documents to investigate whether the companies were making a political show out of the cost disclosures.

And then … nothing. Waxman at the last minute canceled a hearing to grill executives about the issue.

Obama lied to us and Waxman intended to punish companies for exposing lies.
