Backroom deals and cover-ups may be business as usual for Washington, but understanding why the Obama administration protects its friends from Obamacare offers special insight into what the purveyors of the mandate themselves think about their own law. This is key: The waivers aren’t meant to protect victims from unintended consequences of Obamacare; they are meant to exempt them from the very intentional increased costs of health insurance that the law causes. Under Section 2711 of the Public Health Service Act, Obamacare increases the annual cap of insurance benefits, which sounds great - as does everything else in big government - until the bill comes due, in this case, in the form of higher insurance premiums.
In short, the administration has decided that you will face increased health insurance premiums, but special friends in the unions will not. Look closely, and you’ll see not only the White House‘s duplicity but also what the Obama administration really thinks of its crown jewel, Obamacare. White House words say that the annual insurance benefit cap is a feature of the program, but its actions say that it’s a bug.
The question remains: If Obamacare is such a great law, why does the White House keep protecting its best friends from it?

Two years of republican obstinance just past and now two years more. We the people will take note of this...... and remember.
Only those "EXEMPT" from it such as the Unions, Federal workers, and those that "Think" they are actually getting something from it at the expense of the less than half of us who actually WORK.

OK,
What do you LIKE about the Healthcare Bill other than the "insure-ability and pre-conditions" issues that were corrected?
What about the other 1,500 pages of crap? I keep hearing the partisans "supporting" this but for the life of them it seems they don't know why.
