Where's My Waiver?
"Rich Grise" wrote in message ... "The Secretary of Health and Human Services has arbitrarily given waivers to 1,040 businesses and five entire states from harmful provisions of ObamaCare. Despite union workers only making up 11.9% of the workforce, 45.55% of waiver beneficiaries are unionized! While powerful liberal unions are now reaping the benefits of their tens of millions of dollars in support for President Obama?s campaign, the rest of America is left fully complying with the destructive ObamaCare law, leading millions to ask: Yo, Where?s MY Waiver? In the land of equal protection under the law, all deserve to be protected from ObamaCare's harm or none should. If you agree, send an email to the Obama Administration asking for YOUR waiver from provisions of ObamaCare that harm YOU!" http://wheresmywaiver.com/ The waivers wouldn't apply to any but a few people, Rich. Their purpose is to allow for already-contracted plans that limit coverage to less than $750,000/yr. That applies to 18 million people, most of whom work for large corporations. In the case of Maine and a few other states, the waivers are to allow insurance companies to keep 35% of their gross, rather than 20%, because those companies are so poorly run that they probably would leave the state. But Maine has only a few insurers as it is. They probably couldn't pick up the slack right away. -- Ed Huntress |

Rich - You do realize, don't you, that the anecdote about the public's misconception about the funding of CPB was meant to highlight the absurdity of your quest for a waiver, don't you? You did read Ed's explanation of the waivers, didn't you? What, exactly, is "absurd" about wanting equal treatment under the law. If Obama's union handlers can have a waiver, howcome the law discriminates against me? Or you, for that matter. If the law allows for _some_ people to have a waiver, it should allow _all_ people to have a waiver, otherwise it violates the "equal protection" provision of the Constitution. Hope This Helps!

Rich Rich - If the law allows SOME vehicles (police cars, fire trucks, ambulances) to exceed the speed limit, should it allow ALL vehicles to do so? Your "equal protection" allows you to request a waiver. It does not obligate the government to issue said waiver, unless you meet the same criterea as the other applicants whose waivers were issued. Now, while we're at it - It has been widely reported that GE paid no income tax last year. Gunner has also reported that he paid no income tax. Where's MY free ride? |

By what strange mental twist do you equate Obama's liberal unionist buddies to "police cars, fire trucks, ambulances"? What makes them so special? Whose life are they on the way to save, other than their own greed? Thanks, Rich The fact is that they work for big companies, many of which are self-insured (it may say Blue Cross on your card, but it isn't), and many of which have put benefit limits on their employees that are lower than the amount permitted under the Affordable Care Act. Forcing those companies to increase their costs while the economy is still weak would hurt *lots* of jobs. How about you? What is it about your insurance that would qualify you for an exemption? -- Ed Huntress |

But assuming he does, it would be good to know what he thinks is happening to his costs under the ACA, and therefore what would justify an exemption. But I don't seriously expect an answer. Rich, like most of the other righties, just salute whenever they read some right-wing polemic, and then jerk their knees so high they do a backflip. I think Gunner just strained a tendon between his ears on the debt issue, for example. d8-) -- Ed Huntress |

I was giving a different example of a situation in which your overly simplistic understanding of the equal protection clause would not apply. |

I'm sure there's some of that. But I think most of it is that people don't know what's going on, economically, because they've never made a real attempt to understand; the Republicans have labelled every government involvement in anything "socialism"; socialism is bad; and therefore Obama is bad and anything he proposes is bad. Besides, he's black and has a funny name. And many aren't sure that Hawaii is part of the United States. g I think Gunner just strained a tendon between his ears on the debt issue, for example. d8-) Sorry, no tendons--except for the voices, empty space ...
