Sometimes a man has to do what a man has to do to keep his job — especially if that man is the president of the United States.
It’s too bad Barack Obama didn’t see the writing on the wall when he signed his healthcare bill into law despite the widespread protests from millions of Americans who were against it.
With his job approval ratings hitting an all-time low in 2011 — 46% — Obama is feeling the pressure to correct his error in judgment by quietly approving waivers for customers of his rich insurance buddies so they don’t have to participate in ObamaCare.
According to Hot Air, the entire state of Maine will be given waivers to exempt them from participating in ObamaCare — that’s 1,328,381 people.
Maine isn’t alone, New Hampshire, Nebraska, and Kentucky have requested waivers as well. That would add another 3,912,691 waivers to the growing list.
It seems that the same people who protested so vigorously against ObamaCare are now being issued waivers to opt out of participating in it.
You’re probably asking yourself, ‘why would Obama sign a health care bill into law and then allow millions of people in certain states to quietly opt out of it?’
Good question. But here’s a better one: guess who’s going to end up getting stuck with the massive fees for health insurance in the coming years? You get what you ask for.
