Obama Admin Issues More Waivers For Obamacare

The Obama administration approved 204 new waivers to Democrats’ healthcare reform law over the past month, bringing the total to 1,372.

The waivers are temporary and only apply to one provision of the law, which requires health plans to offer at least $750,000 worth of annual medical benefits before leaving patients to fend for themselves.

I don’t understand. Obamacare is supposed to lower costs, make health care more accessible and affordable, and be the greatest thing this country has ever seen. We’re supposed to be able to keep our doctor and our plan if we like it, even though no such provision was ever codified in the bill.

So with all this greatness, why are companies (including Unions who campaigned relentlessly for it) trying so hard to get out of it?

Don’t they like lower costs and better access?

Or is that whole thing bullshit?

(Hint: It’s the latter)
