Someone investigative journalist should see who is behind each of these entities and see what kind of donations they have made to Obama/Democrats.

Harvard Law turns out pieces of work.

If waivers are truly being dished out on a state by state basis, seems this would violate article 4 section 2:

Section. 2. The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States.

(not that it would make a Constitutional authority like obama any difference)

That some organizations should be granted waivers and others not, is bad enough, but the refusal of Sibelius to state the criteria used or the method of application IS REALLY MORALLY SICK.

I can HARDLY WAIT for 2012!!!

"The waivers adds to the unconstitutionality by breaking the ‘equal protection’ amendment."

A 14th Amendment lawsuit needs to be brought.

Is the high cost of Obamacare hurting your organization?

Do you think you should be exempt from the law that ordinary citizens have to obey?

Are you a big corporation that doesn’t want to obey the law?

Are you a union that supported the passage of Obamacare, and now you want an exemption from the law that you expect everyone else to follow?

Do you want to join this exclusive list of organizations that have received special Obamacare waivers exempting them from the high cost of Obamacare?
