Opt Out of
ObamaCare Too!
The ObamaBuddy Exemption
Should Go Public
![MyObamaBuddy]() The rapidly growing number of companies, unions, and
states bursting out of the Obamacare escape hatch is UNBELIEVEABLE!
From the
looks of the roster of opt-outs to whom the White House has given
special
exemptions
to
ObamaCare, it appears to be a Who's
Who of Groups Too Democrat To Snare.
Pardon me for
sounding a bit self-serving and populist but if the buddies of the
White
House can Opt Out of ObamaCare – You
and
I should be able to as well.
In
September, Obamacare promoter and Democrat
Rep. Ron Wyden applied for a special state waiver from the very federal
mandate he advocated for everyone else.
Within a
few weeks McDonald's Double Arch got
it's own Obamacare waiver after informing federal regulators that it
couldn't afford ObamaCare and would have to drop its affordable health
insurance plan for nearly 30,000 restaurant workers unless it got a
pass.
In early
October, the Obama administration announced it had granted waivers not
only to McDonald's, but also to several other firms and oh yeah - labor unions—Groups Too Democrat To
Snare.
Of Course Obama and Congress are Exempt.
I almost
forgot Muslims are also exempt.
Hey Obama – I
want to Opt Out
TOO!
Please
add my name to the National ObamaCare Opt Out Registry!
The
NOOO! List is
APPROACHING 1,000,000 STRONG
But that
wasn't enough back-room dealing -- HHS
Secretary Kathleen Sebelius approved an incredible 111 waivers for
businesses AND Unions and other providers of health insurance.
Just
curious…Which party is the party of big corporations and special
interest
groups?
According
to HHS, waivers depend on "a
series of factors including whether or not a premium increase
is large or if a significant number of enrollees would lose access to
their
current plan because the coverage would not be offered in the absence
of a
waiver."
Ummm...According to the Medicare
Actuary – Millions and Millions of
Seniors will lose access to their current plan. Does that mean Seniors
can
Opt Out?
Aetna, based in Hartford,
Connecticut, was part of a first round of waivers in September for
209,423
beneficiaries in plans that don't comply with the new requirement. Oak
Brook, Illinois- based McDonald's Corp., the world's largest restaurant
chain, Jack in the Box Inc., based in San Diego, and the United
Federation
of Teachers also were among the waiver recipients.
About 200,000 people were included in the new
round
of exemptions, bringing the total to almost 1.2 million people,
HHS
said on its website. Also on the list for exemptions are Manor Care
Inc., a
nursing-home company owned by Washington-based private equity firm
Carlyle
Group, and Universal Forest Products Inc., a lumber company based in
Grand
Rapids, Michigan.
Spokesmen
for Manor and Universal Forest didn't immediately
respond to messages seeking comment.
…Dish
Network, the Englewood, Colorado-based
No. 2 U.S. satellite-television provider, will be given a waiver for
3,597
employees, and Orlando, Florida-based Darden Restaurants, owner of the
Olive Garden and Red Lobster chains, will get a waiver for 34,000
workers,
according to the HHS list. Darden spokesman Rich Jeffers didn't
immediately
respond to a request for comment. Dish Network spokesman Marc Lumpkin
declined to comment.

The
waivers, which last for a year and can then
be renewed, let workers keep coverage until new options are available
in
four years under the law, said Jessica Santillo, a spokeswoman for the
agency.
Make no
mistake: Team
Obama
isn't granting the waivers out of bleeding-heart compassion for the
affected workers, but out of a panicked urgency to avoid a public
relations disaster.
Old Obama promise:
Everyone gets to keep his or her health insurance.
New Obama promise: You can keep your
health insurance…if
you BEG hard enough for an Obamacare waiver—If you are Too Democrat To
Snare.
It seems
the only way for hundreds of thousands of workers to keep their health
insurance is to exempt them from the government-imposed "fix."
Well I Want Out!

The
left-wing media and George Soros labels
conservative Obamacare critics as "Republican repeal mongers" — even as
the White House and HHS concede failure and continues to approve waiver
after waiver to company after company after union after union.
And its
not just
conservatives pouncing on the REPEAL, Democrats' own push to repeal the
onerous IRS 1099 provisions:
- A leading Senate Democrat vowed Friday
to introduce
legislation killing a part of the new healthcare reform law that
imposes
new tax-filing requirements on small businesses.Sen. Max Baucus
(D-Mont.),
chairman of the Finance Committee and a leading architect of the reform
law, said a provision requiring businesses to report more purchases to
the
IRS will impose undue paperwork burdens on companies amid an economic
downturn when they can least afford it.
- Baucus, who had pushed legislation
scaling back the requirement
earlier in the year, now wants it repealed in full.
- "I have heard small businesses loud
and clear and I am responding
to their concerns," Baucus said in a statement.
- "Small businesses are the backbone of
our economy in my home state
of Montana and across the country, and they need to focus their efforts
on
creating good-paying jobs — not filing paperwork."
Well, we
all have our Repeal
Monger Moments! It all boils down to being Too Democrat To Snare.
