The list of companies, labor unions, restaurants, etc. that have obtained exemptions from the Law of the Land (i.e. Obamacare) has risen to over 1,300.
How does one get an Obamacare waiver?
No one knows. The White House and its wholly-owned subsidiary, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services decline to answer this question.
They also refuse to disclose the companies that have been refused waivers.
And the newest wrinkle in the Obamacare-waiver scheme?
Fully 20% of waivers approved in April 2011 were in Nancy Pelosi's district. These waivers included "luxurious hotels, gourmet restaurants, hip nightclubs, day spas and four-star hotels."
The Administration's answer to this? Waivers are just a "regular thing."
The bigger question is how the Executive Branch can reject laws passed by Congress and also refuse to reveal exactly how they choose which companies get to violate the law.
And how exactly does the Executive Branch take on this power for itself? It all seems just a tad power-grabby and illegal.
