Obamacare Waivers Climb to Nearly 1,400

As the number of days since the passage of the health care overhaul increases, so too do the number of waivers exempting employers from it. And now, according to CNS News, that number has climbed to nearly 1,400.
CNS based its article on a new report by the Government Accountability Office (GAO). According to it, the exact number of waivers granted stands at 1,372. Those are for what are called “mini-med” programs. CNS explains:
The waivers are for so-called mini-med plans that offer annual coverage limits. They were outlawed by ObamaCare and are scheduled to be regulated out of existence in 2014.
However, such plans are often the only form of health insurance available to workers and without the waivers most would no longer be available.
[...]
Because these new regulations would end up denying health insurance to millions of Americans, HHS began issuing waivers so that people could keep their health coverage despite the new mandates.
The report found, however, that some of those annual limits were as high as $2 million, and that the only real basis for granting the waivers was the claim that the health care law would regulate the plans out of existence. It may come as now surprise, then, that only 65 waiver applications were denied through April 2011. 95 percent of applications were approved, the report says.
As CNS points out, the administration set up an entirely new government office to deal with the waivers:
HHS in fact established a new government office to process and evaluate the tide of waiver applications submitted by companies and unions trying to keep their health plans from being eliminated by ObamaCare.
“To implement various provisions of PPACA, including those related to annual limits, HHS created what is now called the Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight (CCIIO).”
“CCIIO granted waivers on the basis of applications’ projected significant increases in premiums or significant decreases in access to health care benefits,” the report said. “Officials told us that they could not exclusively rely on specific numerical criteria to define a significant increase in premiums or a significant decrease in access to benefits.”

Posted on June 16, 2011 at 10:30amThere are at least 1372 reasons that proves Obamacare is at best misguided. Without these waivers to follow the plan millions of workers would lose their healthcare.

Posted on June 16, 2011 at 9:29pmakmeenieus……….the gov. healthcare is much better than the new healthcare. Looks like the only ones going to be paying for this pile of crap are the ones that that were responsible enough to have health insurance in the first place. We will be paying for second and third class health care and the ones not paying will get first class. To hell with that plan. If you like it you pay for it. I dont care if ilegals have healthcare or not to be honest. They are helping to tear this country apart. Let them go back across the border and get their own house in order, it will then be easier for us to do the same. Millions of us are going to be without insurance at all, turning the tables, those who wouldnt buy insurance will have it for nothing and those that did buy insurance willhave to pay or have none at all. Go home and lock the door behind you AK. Why come here and smear your BS. Your comments always upset me. On another note, will New York still get their exemption since weener is gone? Lotus.

If you contrast a system that has an interest in seeing that you to stay healthy because it saves them (the government) money with a system that makes money when you are sick, (insurance companies, HMOs) one can see that a pinch of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

You shall not steal.
You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.
In other words Universal Health Care goes against at least 2 Commandments. The Government is stealing from one to give to another. If your neighbor is paying for Health Care and you are not then you are coveting something your neighbor has. As far as the rest of the commandments go the liberals like yourself break them daily.

If it was they could have simply expanded what we already have for indigent medical care, Medicare, Medicaid and CHIPS. By the way, we already spend more on those that defense/wars. Think how much it will cost with single-payer. Don’t be fooled; single-payer is the ultimate goal. Obama said it himself several times before saying it wasn’t. Wake up and smell the socialism and communism.
Socialism and communism are for the feeble-minded, inept and lazy. Which are you?
