773 Obamacare waivers...and counting
Ethel C. Fenig
In August, 2009, as he was extolling the virtues of his proposed Obamacare, President Barack Obama (D) famously promised "If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan." And if you're a union member you certainly can; if you're not, well...

The Health and Human Services site Helping Americans Keep the Coverage They Have and Promoting Transparency (sic) conveniently lists the 773 waivers approved to date. Scroll through the list; notice that most of the waivers, more than 650 went to unions exempting well over 2 million employees.

Whoops, looks like the CBO underestimated the cost of Obama Care
by $500 Billion. What else is new.

In addition the NYT reported that most Pharma is cutting Research and Development because of the govt pushing generics, which do zero R+D, and
the many govt. regulations.
Pfizer is cutting 30% of it's R+D as a generic Lipitor will be available in November.

There goes the future miracle drugs that so many younger people were
looking forward to extending their quality of older life and the best medical
care in the world.
