All You Need to Know About Obamacare

On March 9th, 2010, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi stated “We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it.”  Absurd as it seems, she was right.  We learn a little more each week.  The most recent revelation was that of the 1,372 waivers approved by the Department of Health and Human Services, roughly 20% were to businesses located in  Pelosi’s Northern California District.  The waivers 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.

Not reported by the mainstream media, the entire state of Nevada, home to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, is receiving an Obamacare waiver!  Nevada has secured a statewide waiver from certain implementation requirements of the Obama administration’s health care law, because forcing them through “may lead to the destabilization of the individual market.”  How can this be?  Wasn't this legislation the crown jewel of Obama, Pelosi and Reid's two years of complete control of the legislative and executive branches?

Not really.  The waivers are simply a payoff for ramming the bill the American people didn't want through the House and Senate.  "Payoff" connotes a value for not participating.  Unfortunately, you and I will be forced to.
