THE UR MAY NOT HAVE GIVEN US UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE, BUT HE IS GIVING US UNIVERSAL WAIVERS!:
Obamacare Waivers Granted to Nevada and New Hampshire (JEFFREY H. ANDERSON, 5/9/11, Weekly Standard)
President Obama’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), headed by Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, has now granted Obamacare waivers to the entire states of Nevada and New Hampshire. In its letter to Nevada, HHS admits that, without the waiver, “there is a reasonable likelihood” that Obamacare would result in “market destabilization, and thus harm to consumers.” Thus, to try to keep insurers from fleeing that state, HHS has exempted Nevada from a portion of Obamacare’s long list of mandates and requirements. HHS also admits to a “reasonable likelihood” that Obamacare would “destabilize the individual market” in New Hampshire, and has granted it a statewide waiver as well.
