Restaurants, Cafes in Pelosi's District Eat Up Health Care Law Waivers
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/05/17/restaurants-cafes-pelosis-district-eat-health-care-law-waivers/
Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco district was the hands-down winner in the latest set of health care law waivers announced by the Obama administration.
More than three-dozen businesses with locations in Pelosi's district were granted temporary exemptions from the law in April, according to information released by the Department of Health and Human Services. The businesses -- mostly restaurants and cafes, with a few upscale hotels and clubs mixed in -- accounted for about 20 percent of all waivers granted last month.

But straight from the Democrat Party's playbook.

Laws, rules and regulations are for the pee-ons and little people, not us democrat politicians and our friends (financial supporters).

Give them a couple of days until the story becomes beyond their ability to ignore.
Then you will see some trulyastounding feats of mental gymnastics.
It'll be a regular Cirque de WTF.

Nevada secures partial waiver from federal health care law

Nevada got a partial waiver from the health care law — a significant development that Democrats are dismissing as par for the course and Republicans are claiming as a political victory.
The Health and Human Services Department announced late Friday that Nevada had secured a statewide waiver from certain implementation requirements of the Obama administration’s health care law, because forcing them through, the department found, “may lead to the destabilization of the individual market.â€
The announcement makes Nevada one of only three states to have compliance requirements under the health care bill waived.
Nevada’s Insurance Division had appealed to the feds to reduce the federal requirement that health plans serving people who buy insurance on their own must spend at least 80 percent of the money they collect on medical expenses. Under the national rule, companies that don’t spend that percentage of revenue on medical costs have to cut policyholders rebate checks starting this year.
Nevada asked that requirement be reduced to 72 percent for one year, arguing that top insurance providers would be so strapped to make the payments that they’d exit the state market.
The rest is here . . .

Well, Isn't that special?

Thugocracy. How about everyone gets waiver from Obamacare.

This is likely to be one of those exceptions that eat the rule, especially once the worm turns and the other side is in charge of granting the waivers.

I find it wholly incredible that, going into an election year and desperate to build-up the credibility of the law in the eyes of a public that still rejects it at 60% the democrats are so insular as to pull a stunt like this.
These aren't even working class restaurants. These are 4-star, fine-dining eateries. We always knew that liberals were liars when it came to their claims of looking out for The Little GuyTM but this is damn near politically suicidal once the independent voters catch wind of it.

They're counting on the MSM to shun it, but they seem to operate under the peculiar construct that the old media is all on their side (Mostly true though they seem to be going to great lengths to piss them off) and the new media is also their oyster (In which they are gravely mistaken).
