How great a law could ObamaCare be if companies like McDonald’s need a compliance waiver? The surge in waivers granted by Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius is fast-approaching 800, or a little more than two a day since the law went into effect. At some point, exceptional cases swallow the rule. This seems to be the thinking behind today’s Rasmussen Reports poll:
Sixty-one percent (61%), in fact, think that if selected companies receive an exemption from certain aspects of the health care law, all companies should be treated the same way. Twenty percent (20%) now disagree and say all companies should not be given that exemption, but 19% more are undecided. These findings are comparable to the previous survey.
Where’s the fairness in granting waivers only to a few? Aren’t we all in this socialized health care pool together? Or are some companies too big to comply? If liberals had the courage of their convictions, they’d implement their health care takeover immediately so people would know exactly what it does. Since the law and its proponents would go down in flames in that scenario, instead we’ll continue to see HHS boil the economy slowly, hoping “only” 61% of the people notice.
