Back in November the Obama Administration had only handed out 111 Obamacare waivers.
Via Cost of Freedom:
FOX News contributor Tracy Byrnes said it best back in November:
“The bottom line here is that they gave out waivers is an admission of guilt. Basically they’re saying, “You’re right. We screwed up.” That’s the bottom line here. They did not create a law that benefits all of us.”
Now over 1,000 Obamacare waivers have been handed out. Nearly half of the latest waivers were given to unions. And, now we find out that nearly 205 of the latest batch of Obamacare waivers were given to companies and unions in Pelosi’s district.
What a scam.
The Daily Caller reported:
Of the 204 new Obamacare waivers President Barack Obama’s administration approved in April, 38 are for fancy eateries, hip nightclubs and decadent hotels in House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s Northern California district.
That’s in addition to the 27 new waivers for health care or drug companies and the 31 new union waivers Obama’s Department of Health and Human Services approved.
Pelosi’s district secured almost 20 percent of the latest issuance of waivers nationwide, and the companies that won them didn’t have much in common with companies throughout the rest of the country that have received Obamacare waivers.
Other common waiver recipients were labor union chapters, large corporations, financial firms and local governments. But Pelosi’s district’s waivers are the first major examples of luxurious, gourmet restaurants and hotels getting a year-long pass from Obamacare.
