If you would like to know what the White House really thinks of Obamacare, there’s an easy wayopines Dr. Milton R. Wolf, a board-certified diagnostic radiologist and a medical director who happens to be cousin of Barack Obama.
Look past its press releases. Ignore its promises. Forget its talking points. Instead, simply witness for yourself the outrageous way the White House protects its best friends from Obamacare.From Dr. Milton R. Wolf's blog:Last year, we learned that the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) had granted 111 waivers to protect a lucky few from the onerous regulations of the new national health care overhaul. That number quickly and quietly climbed to 222, and last week we learned that the number of Obamacare privileged escapes has skyrocketed to 733.
…Not only are the payoffs an affront to our democracy and an outright assault on our taxpayers, the timing itself of the latest release makes a mockery of this administration’s transparency promises. More than 500 of the 733 waivers, we now know, were granted in December but kept conveniently under wraps until the day after the president’s State of the Union address. …For this administration, transparency promises last only until the teleprompter is unplugged. …
Backroom deals and cover-ups may be business as usual for Washington, but understanding why the Obama administration protects its friends from Obamacare offers special insight into what the purveyors of the mandate themselves think about their own law. This is key: The waivers aren’t meant to protect victims from unintended consequences of Obamacare; they are meant to exempt them from the very intentional increased costs of health insurance that the law causes. …
In short, the administration has decided that you will face increased health insurance premiums, but special friends in the unions will not. …
The question remains: If Obamacare is such a great law, why does the White House keep protecting its best friends from it?
