Obamacare Waivers R Us!

How the heck did I miss this story last Friday: Wyoming Republican John Barrasso is introducing a bill this week that will allow ALL Americans to apply for an individual waiver to Obamacare.

POW!

As of this writing there are 1,471 waivers granted.  I like the idea of MILLIONS of waivers granted.  Afterall, we are all equal under the law, right?

RIGHT?!

Mr. Barrasso says that if the program worked there wouldn't be a need for waivers.  Can't argue with that.  He goes on to say that each and every waiver "demonstrates that the President's health care law is a complete failure."  Emphasis mine, but really I think it's the emphasis of the majority of folks, don't you?

Sure, we understand that the waiver policy is coming to an end, but until then, WAIVERS FOR EVERYONE!

This has got to be a poke to Barry's eye with a sharp stick.

But what does he care, he's got a waiver.  Help will be swift for him.  Not so much for you or me.

Time to change that nonsense.

I love this idea. I love the idea of flooding the White House with waiver requests as a protest statement. Heck, we should send them whether this bill passes or not!
