We’ve long thought the way out of the Obamacare mess is to let the damn bill stand, but make everyone exempt from it. That way, the President gets to keep his “signature achievement” and we get to escape his half-witted Marxist quackery.
Our new BFF, Senator John Barrasso (R-WY) is on the same page. We quote from his statement:
“As of today, over 3.2 million Americans have received a get out of Obamacare free pass from the Administration. If the law worked well, companies and unions would not demand a way out of its expensive mandates. Each waiver demonstrates that the President’s health care law is a complete failure. The law continues to crush jobs, increase premiums and encourage government controlled health care.
“It’s not fair that a particular group of Americans, including union employees, don’t have to abide by the law. Millions of other Americans across the country deserve the same freedom.
“Next week, I will introduce a bill that will allow all Americans to apply for a waiver from the President’s health care law. This law will deliver choice to Americans who want to get the care they need, from the doctor they want, at a price they can afford.”
The word “choice” used in a context other than abortions is a change we can believe in. We would love to see more bills like this introduced week after week until Obama retires. Hopefully, in January 2013.
Surely Democrat and media heads will explode but not to worry, flying feces rarely causes injury.

Polosi vote for it so we can see whats in it exemped her whole district?
Dhimmitude What does it mean?
Obama used it in the health care bill.
Now isn't this interesting? It is used in the health care law.
Dhimmitude -- I had never heard the word until now. Type it into Google and start reading.
Pretty interesting. It's on page 107 of the healthcare bill. I looked this up on Google and yep, it exists..
It is a REAL word.
Word of the Day: Dhimmitude
Dhimmitude is the Muslim system of controlling non-Muslim populations conquered through jihad.
Specifically, it is the TAXING of non-Muslims in exchange for tolerating their presence AND as a coercive means of converting conquered remnants to Islam.
ObamaCare allows the establishment of Dhimmitude and Sharia Muslim diktat in the United States .
Muslims are specifically exempted from the government mandate to purchase insurance, and also from the penalty tax for being uninsured. Islam considers insurance to be "gambling", "risk-taking", and "usury" and is thus banned. Muslims are specifically granted exemption based on this.
How convenient. So I, as a American or Texan not Muslim, will have crippling IRS liens placed against all of my assets, including real estate, cattle, and even accounts receivables, and will face hard prison time because
I refuse to buy insurance or pay the penalty tax. Meanwhile, Louis Farrakhan will have no such penaltyand will have 100% of his health needs paid for by the de facto government insurance. Non-Muslimswill be paying a tax to subsidize Muslims. This is Dhimmitude.
I recommend sending this on to your contacts. American citizens need to know about it -- I want a waiver from this crap PLEASE!
Hi You! I haven't seen you in a while. I hope everything is good?
Your post is alarming. Is the word really in the law?
This is very alarming and disgusting. As a Christian I could say the same thing: "Life is not promised to anyone. When I die I go to Christ. I am NOT of this world, I just live in it for the time being." All those are good reasons (to me) to not be concerned about insurance.
This is insanity and yet another proof that he is a Muslim.
Like makin NASA a Muslim outreach progam wasnt already proof?
If it were BushCare instead of ObamaCare, can you imagine the media chasing down waiver recipients as they posted stories about cronyism, nepotism, and favoritism?
"Liberalism, ideas so good they have to be mandatory." Excellent. How true, danybhoy.
Remember when we were guaranteed the Equal Protection of the laws?
Now we have Democrats exempting their friends, constituents, and contributors from the enslaving and debilitating laws they pass.
And here in California, we actually have a Democrat governor that threatened to cut state funding to legislative districts that don't support his plans.
Democrats have a long tradition of punishing their enemies with unjust laws and rewarding their friends with taxpayer dollars. But they're getting bolder lately. At the rate they're going, they'll be full on Khmer Rouge by the end of this decade.
Lanny, you MUST be mistaken!
The Demorats are the party of the sheeple, they would never punish anyone just for disagreeing with them!
Rewarding their cronies? NO WAY! They are merely showing gratitude for those that support them by doing right by everyone, just like they promised! I mean after all, didn't Clinton promise gays unfettered access to join the military, and be open about their gay status? What about marriage? Didn't he promise them that they would be able to marry, just like straight couples? Minorities, he promised them all kinds of opportunities for education, employment, and housing. Aren't all minority groups now at 100% employment and home ownership, with Doctorates in untold numbers?
The Demorats are the party of kept promises and economic prosperity. To lose them as a party would totally devastate.................no-one!
Ah... Genius! It may not pass but it will make a point that Dany always makes... this crap is for us and especially us that do not believe in the crap, not for the elitists nor for the special class that believes in that crap. We are being raped and we need to wake up. I dont think that Obama should be left with the idea that he won a big thing here either if anything it should be immediately repealed when possible.
Thanks, & yes, I will keep saying it because it's true. So here goes a few...
Liberalism, ideas so good they have to be manditory.
Liberalism always generates the exact oposite of it's stated intent.
Liberals never understand that what they are doing is wrong, they believe they have not done enough of it yet.
Your freedom to be you includes my freedom to be free from you.
Capitalism is boss.
Most leftists believe in the 10 pillars of communism over the Bill of Rights.
& last but not least, Socilism is for the people, not the socialist.
Most of those things are heard on 1 of 2 radio shows. The Warroom with Quinn & Rose, & The Wilkow Majority with Andrew Wilkow. They are the 2 best shows most people don't know about.
I listen to Wilkow often. He is a master at making economics and politics mesh in an interesting way. I heard he is being or has been considered for a TV job at Fox News.
I would be so happy if that happened!
I'm waiting for the guy, or gal, in the House who says that if the Congress does not have to live under these rules...NONE of them should pass.
PittZ, are you that stupid? Socialism is for you & me, not them. The sooner you realize this, & learn your place in society, the better.
Same thing as "it takes a village to raise a child"; except when you do it that way, you merely raise an idiot, i.e. the one in the White House.
I would rather not use the word stupid to describe myself...
How about naive?
Sorry, but I think you understood how I meant my post. I just used the word to make a point, & I know you ain't stupid. That's why I used that word. If you would like naive, so be it.
Yeah, naive works.
Idealistic works too....
I'm all for what ever it takes to kill off this piece of shit legislation. At least Senator Barrasso has come up with an idea that the majority of this nation can agree with. If the members of congress can have a waiver why not those that elected them.
I like this idea! But why stop here? I want a waiver that lets me opt out of Social Security as well.
Sooner or later, we will be given a "partial" social security waiver. We will be exempt from collecting benefits but not "contributing". This is because flying monkeys broke into the social security lock box and ate all its contents, leaving nothing but flying monkey feces (i.e. an IOU from Uncle Sam.)
leaving nothing but flying monkey feces
Are you sure that they were flying monkeys and not moonbats?
Even if the flying monkeys hadn't done that, Ponzi schemes ALWAYS fail at some point.
If this Bill does get through the House and miraculously through the Senate, wont the President just veto it at his desk?
Probably, but if congress has the votes, they can over-ride his veto.
Ah yes! I forgot about that part. Thanks Drb! :)
It takes 2/3 of the Senate to override a veto. We will not get a repeal of this disgrace until the GOP has control of the Senate, House and Oval Office.
...and 2/3 of the House. According to Senate.gov fewer than 10% of vetoed bills have been overridden.
But what the Republican Senate needs to do right now, is send common sense bills to the Senate and the Oval Office every day, and have them turned down. And publicize the fact. Let the people see that what they want in government is being stopped by the Democrats.
Yes, I knew that it was a rare thing. I was just saying it was possible.
Destroy the bill and everybody who supports it or advances it's so-called benifits. Destroy the union leaders who've managed to entangle us in it and disentangle themselves and their union drones from it. As Kreese said above: "Small government, free markets and personal responsibility=TEA!"
I think I'll have another cup myself!
