President Obama’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), headed by Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, has now granted Obamacare waivers to the entire states of Nevada and New Hampshire. In its letter to Nevada, HHS admits that, without the waiver, “there is a reasonable likelihood” that Obamacare would result in “market destabilization, and thus harm to consumers.” Thus, to try to keep insurers from fleeing that state, HHS has exempted Nevada from a portion of Obamacare’s long list of mandates and requirements. HHS also admits to a “reasonable likelihood” that Obamacare would “destabilize the individual market” in New Hampshire, and has granted it a statewide waiver as well

Why are you posting 2011?
Another thumb in the eye. Wow, these people are so hateful
Nevada! Hmmmm. Isn’t that where Dingy Harry the weasel is from?
Ping for another day. A few left!
The article is from 2011; do they still have these waivers?
Ok, this is old news, hmmm
This article is from 2011. Is this still in effect?
So, Dingy is off the hook and can let the filthy, lard laden porkulus CR die a deserved Death.
obamacare is INTENDED to “destabilize the individual market”, but in a slow, managed fashion so the proles don't get distracted from Monday Night Football and such.
The waivers definitely expire but I’m not sure when.
Don’t know, but posted for reference.
They have just telegraphed the solution for the rest of the 48 states.
Insurance companies just need to start threatening to pull out of all states - and we can get the rest of the states waivers as well.
To hell with this law.
Start working people. Start working.
To refute “it’s the law of the land”.
One nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
What a lie we live.
And of course, hurting Reid’s reelection prospects is of paramount importance.
The legal gymnastics and convoluted contortions that were performed by Justice Roberts are beyond comprehension. Worse, he engaged in rewriting the law as Congress “may have intended” instead of accepting what Congress did intend, in order to “save” the unconstitutional legislation by doing what he has no authority to do - re-writing a statute - not once, but twice. Senator Lee has written is succinctly: “He also changed the Medicaid expansion portion. The bill stated that if a state did not accept the new Medicaid expansion, it would forfeit all of it’s existing Federal Medicaid payments, leaving the state to pay for everything that they had formerly shared with the Federal govt. That was clearly an unconstitutional portion of the law, so instead of striking it, the Court re-wrote it, allowing states to opt out of expansion while keeping their current Federal subsidy. The Court “fixed” the provision to make it Constitutional. So we have a law which, because the Court altered it, is a law that has not passed Congress nor been signed by the President.”
Sorry to say this but I hope John Roberts burns in hell with the rest of the dems.
he will toast alongside an idiot Kenyan
Good.
