Townhall - President Obama's storytellers recently launched a White House blog series called "Voices of Health Reform," where "readers can meet average Americans already benefiting from the health reform law." I propose a new White House series: "Voices of Health Reform Waivers," where taxpayers can meet all the politically connected unions benefiting from exclusive get-out-of-Obamacare passes -- after squandering millions of their workers' dues to lobby for the job-killing, private insurance-sabotaging law from which they are now exempt.
At the end of last year, the Department of Health and Human Services had granted some 222 temporary waivers to businesses small and large, insurers, labor and other organizations that offer affordable health insurance or prescription drug coverage with limited benefits. On Wednesday, the agency quietly updated its online list, which now reveals a whopping total of 729 Obamacare escapees -- in addition to four states, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Ohio and Tennessee -- who collectively cover about 2.1 million enrollees.

Yeah, this health care plan is so great that every union that prostituted their political support for the measure now desperately wants out while the rest of us are left to be sacrificed in the name of social justice. Then Obama had the unmitigated gall to tell both houses in the State Of The Union speech to fix what's wrong with it and get over it. The majority of those who aren't getting a "presidential knee pad" pass hate this bill and also want out. Our application for a waiver was manifested in the recent house vote to repeal the bill. He wants to fix what's wrong? Repeal the whole damn thing then! We demand a vote in the senate and when it's passed he needs to fix it by signing it. America had this shoved down our throats. Sneak that in!!
