Palin calls Obamacare waiver process corrupt
Posted by loricalabrese on May 18, 2011
The Daily Caller reported yesterday that President Barack Obama’s administration approved 204 new Obamacare waivers in April. A waiver you ask? That’s right, waivers are being issued to posh hotels, gourmet restaurants, day spas and nightclubs, exempting the businesses from Obamacare and allowing those businesses to keep their lower-cost employee health plans for now. It was discovered that a startling one in five of the new waivers to Obama’s health care reform law went to businesses in Nancy Pelosi’s district.
The Daily Caller reached out to former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin for her reaction and she told the Daily Caller frankly that the waiver process is “corrupt.”
“Unflippingbelievable! No, wait, it is believable,” Palin said in an email to TheDC. “Seriously, this is corrupt. And anyone who still supports the Pelosi-Reid-Obama agenda of centralized government takeovers of the free market and the corresponding crony capitalism is, in my book, complicit.”
The reason the Obama administration says it has given out waivers is to exempt certain companies or policyholders from “annual limit requirements,” but what’s ironic about the whole thing is that all of these businessess receiving the waivers are businesses that could afford Obamacare. So it has people wondering, if these businesses can’t afford Obamacare’s regulations, what are the mom and pop businesses going to do?
Another shocking revelation took place on Monday when the Las Vegas Sun reported that Nevada—Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s home state—received a partial statewide Obamacare waiver, too. I shouldn’t have to remind you that it was both Reid and Pelosi who forced Obamacare to become law. Now his state will be one of three to get a waiver from the law’s requirements.
To date, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has approved 1,372 Obamacare waivers, covering 3.1 million Americans, but I have to agree with The Foundry on this one when they ask, “How about a National Obamacare Waiver?”

At some point in time, this systemic corruption via ObamaCare MUST be broadcast far & wide and made a dinner-table conversation among ALL Americans!! This is an example of how the evil ones who forced this upon us knew from the get-go that it was a non-starter and that they’d HAVE to deal with the bad outcomes with their favored clients!

The OBAMACARE waivers are a totally corrupt process! indicate stupidity of the whole bill. Also, do only their cronies or partisan supporters get waivers?
