#1 Great news! Keep them coming. We'll "waiver" this piece of garbage right into the rubbish bin.

#2 With such a well established precedent, the next President could offer a general waiver to the entire US population.

#4 This law and all who signed it is a joke.

All who signed this law should be charged with a conspiracy to commit fraud.

#6 --Isn't this 'waiver' a year-to-year approval by HHS ?? At some point, (after 2012 election??), would you think that HHS will not allow renewal waivers and everyone would have to participate??
Am I all wet??

#7 Do you really think the Unions would ever be under the obligation of Obamacare? (As Beneficiaries -- yes but actually having to pay for it - that's for the other guy - just like it is now).

#8 I personally believe the entire point of Obamacare is the waivers. You have to earn them (with political contributions or votes). If you don't deliver, you will find your competitors have a decisive advantage over you.

#9 The future of ObamaCare hangs on the 2012 election. Without the waivers, people would see the real cost of this program and The One would go down in flames. Once he wins the 2012 election, nothing can be done to stop it and he can safely let the waivers expire.
Smart move on his part.
