Any business that greases his pockets enough gets a waiver...The Chicago way!
Since the law passed in 2010, 780 companies and 451 unions have received exemptions from the law’s insurance regulations. Of course, what might be considered the largest ObamaCare waiver, was the president’s unilateral decision to postpone the law’s employer mandate until 2015. This creates a particularly troubling Catch-22 for workers. With ObamaCare driving up the cost of insurance many employers may decide to take advantage of the delay and drop coverage for their workers, since they will no longer be penalized for doing so.
Republicans in the House included an amendment to the government funding bill currently being debated in Congress that would strip out Congress’ subsidy, but the Democratically controlled Senate has refused to consider it.
