Waivers Should Raise a Red Flag

Every week or so we read of a new company that is being granted a waiver on Obamacare. Today, apparently the entire state of Maine has been granted a waiver.

If these waivers are needed...doesn't that prove that Obamacare as it now is is unsustainable? Are any of the Democrats pondering this enigma?

Story #3: State of Maine Granted Obamacare Waiver

RUSH: Maine, ladies and gentlemen, has been granted a waiver from Obamacare, an entire state. "The federal government Tuesday granted Maine a waiver of a key provision in President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul, citing the likelihood that enforcement could destabilize the state’s market for individual health insurance." But isn't that its purpose, to destabilize the market for individual health insurance? Yes, it is, but after 2012. See, all this terror, all this horror is not supposed to happen 'til after Obama's been reelected. And that's why all of these waivers. Nobody's supposed to feel the realities of health care prior to 2012. That's why all the waivers.

"The U.S. Health and Human Services department said in a letter it would waive the requirement that insurers spend 80 cents to 85 cents of every premium dollar on medical care and quality improvement." Remember, this is another thing that a lot of us think is unconstitutional. Here's the government telling private insurance how it must spend its profits. And there's a requirement in Obamacare that private insurance spend 80 to 85% of every premium dollar on medical care and quality improvement. That's gonna run 'em out of business, which is the purpose. But Maine has been granted a reprieve. Maine has been granted a waiver. Now, isn't there something in the US Constitution called the equal-protection clause? I'm gonna have to consult my legal beagle buddies here. Wouldn't that require the administration to give every state the same waiver? Of course if the regime cared one whit about the Constitution we wouldn't even have this monstrosity in the first place. But we do.
