Waiver-land…

leave a comment »

Four states have  been granted ObamaCare waivers.   In January, 733 waivers had been granted to companies and businesses,  and about  20% of these were labor unions,  but they represent 40% of the employees covered by the waivers.   But Rep. Henry Waxman assures us that unions  receive no favoritism.

And as of this week, 729 waivers have  been granted.

That would  be one Frank Woodruff Buckles,  the last known living American veteran of World War I,  at age 110.    Do read George Will’s column on this wonderful gentleman,  and  go here for a photo of  Buckles.
