Cure for ObamaCare: Give everyone a waiver

Michelle Malkin informs us of companies and unions receiving ObamaCare waivers (“Dude, Where’s My ObamaCare Waiver?” PostOpinion, Nov. 18).

Wasn’t it President Obama, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the rest of the phonies in this administration who told us that they had one plan that fit all?

Either their gem of a scheme doesn’t tally, or this is just another power grab that won’t work.

If൲ there arꩲe exemptions, they should be made available for whoever wants one.

From what we’ve seen, most Americans don’t want these incompetents fooling with their health care.

First the Democratic Congress passed a health-care bill that the majority of Americans do not�♏� want.

Now Obama issues passes to companies and unions that do not have to comply with the new health-ca🌊re guidelines.

✅ Where is my waiver? I got mine when my Social Security increase was waived for the pℱast two years.

A⛄ARP supported the ObamaCar🍎e legislation. Is AARP now getting a waiver?

If ObamaCare is sꦛuch a wonder, why have so many favored clients of the Democratic Party petitioned the highly politicized Health and Human Services Secre♚tary Kathleen Sebelius for waivers and exemptions from its provisions?

Why did the Democrats make sure to vote down Republican amendments requiring Congress to purchase health insurance from the very same offerings it was pres🦩crib🃏ing for the rest of us?

Pelosi said ObamaCare’s passage is Congress’ holiday gift to the American people.

But likཧe a tacky, poorly made and ill-fitting sweater gifted by a senile aunt, the new Congress wants to return it for something more useable.

M🎃alkin hits the nail on the head: Who knows what the✨ president is getting for exemptions from ObamaCare?

We are a nation of laws, not of men. Congress should never have passed a law giving the president sole authority to determine who is exempt, and the law should be unconstitutional for that🧔 reas🍌on alone.

We now know why all those unions, together with Congress, the most powerful union of them all, voted in lock-step to implement ObamaCare — they were all going to get a “Get Out of Jail Free” pass.

But this is far more serious than a game. The brunt of this onerous bill falls smack on the sagging shoulders of the average A꧒merican, as well as on the majority of seniors.

This bil♛l is dead wrong and, by fairness standards alone, must be re♐pealed. The sooner the better.

I would l﷽ike to thank Obama and the Deဣmocrats for my 30-percent increase in health insurance costs for 2011.

My insurance company was not shy in blaming the current administration for this significant increase, stating that it doesn’t know what to expect in 2011 from the government.

This man is ruining the country 🍸and has to beꦛ stopped.
