How Captain Elliot’s Party Boats Got an Obamacare Waiver

Jim Hoft at Gateway Pundit noted over the weekend that buried deep on the HHS website is a list of over 100 companies/organizations that have been granted waivers from the new health care law. Some of the companies on the list are well know, e.g. Olive Garden and Cracker Barrel restaurants and CIGNA health insurance. Others on the list seem conspicuous because of their small size.

For instance, how did a company called Captain Elliot’s Party Boats get a waiver for their 10 employees?

It turns out Captain Elliot’s Party Boats is the name of a company in Freeport, Texas which had two divisions. One division offered sport fishing cruises in the Gulf of Mexico, i.e. party boats. That part of the business was sold off sometime in 2008, but the company continues to operate its Texas Crewboats division, which services the oil industry.

Ten of our employees just got a waiver. They were laid off early for the winter and told if they see another job waiver over because it ain't lookin good for spring either.
