Waivers to what many called “a civil right” are still being handed out.
“The Obama Administration has rolled out another 129 waivers to one provision of the new health reform law, with almost half of those new exemptions going to various union groups.
The extra waivers bring the total to 1,168, giving businesses, health plans, unions and others an exemption from a portion of the law that in 2011 requires an annual benefit limit of no less than $750,000.
In other words, these 1,168 waivers allow companies to limit health insurance payouts to less than $750,000 – those annual benefit limits will be phased out by 2014.
The waivers now cover almost three million Americans, but the feds argue that is “less than 2 percent of all Americans who have private health insurance.”
So I ask again: Can someone seriously explain how a Black president can make a “civil right” optional?
