Obamacare repeal means waivers for everybody

Can’t we all just get a waiver from Obamacare? Unfortunately not, but the list of people applying is getting longer by the day. There are now 1,372 companies, labor unions and states that have applied for and been granted waivers from an early provision of the law that says health policies must provide at least $750,000 a year in insurance protection.

In the latest batch of waivers, one in five went to expensive restaurants, spas and other businesses in former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s district in San Francisco. What a coincidence!
