Obama administration rejects Republican states’ health law waiver requests

Obama administration rejects Republican states’ health law waiver requests. Is there anyone who doesn’t get an Obamacare waiver? Sure, and coincidentally they’re states with Republican governors that Obama is has very little chance of carrying next year! Wow, what’re the odds of something like that happening, huh? Why, it’s almost as unlikely as a big donor to Obama’s campaign getting a huge loan from the Dept. of Energy!

  • And from a nakedly, brazenly political President who is always ascribing base, political motives to his opponents, but noble motives to himself.

  • The Amateur in Chief has us more divided since (certainly) at least the McCarthy Era and possibly since The Civil War. Every day until he is voted out is more poison we will have to neutralize.

    • AGAIN, socialism is for the people, NOT the socialist. The socialist cannot, & will not, live in the world they prescibe for the rest of us. Good for thee, not for me. Those who support Obama-care come in 1 of 2 groups...

      1. Those who think/know they have an escape hatch. They think they can cut the line.

      2. Those who believe they will get it for free. They think there is something in it for them. These people are the ones who will really be effed, & they deserve to be.

  • In case anyone is wondering what chicago thug politics is, this is it.

    Barry heussien also didn't give FEMA help to Texas with all their wild fires. This is but one of hundreds of examples of 0bama's pay/vote to play with the states.

    Like danny said, we have the enemy as the head of our government.When the republican takes over he has to do a complete clean sweep of all the federal government bureaucrats. GW Bush's failure to clean out Billy Jeff's people was a major reason for the 2008 economic crash.

    Clean. Sweep.

  • Ironically New Mexico is getting over $34 million from Obamacare while most of the businesses that will suposedly benefit from the boondoggle are filing lawsuits to get a waiver.

    Smart businessmen know this unsustainable, unaffordable mess will eventually lead to much higher costs for health insurance for employees and they want nothing to do with it.

  • I still don't understand--if Obama's Grand Plan was so great and was going to solve all our health care "problems" why oh why would ANYONE need a waiver? I know! Let's ask Jay Carney. He's always ready with a straightforward answer. . .

    • Well, in the case of the communists at the SEIU, they know that Obama-care will suck, so they got their exemption. But they still want all the union health care employees that will pay union dues to the SEIU.
