A host of companies are getting waivers from Obamacare provisions yet other companies are being forced to deal with them. How is this equal protection under the law? How is this not the government picking the winners and losers in our economy? How can this not be challenged in court?
If you believe big government is the solution then you are a liberal. If you believe big government is the problem then you are a conservative.

If course the biggest waiver was provided for the teacher's union in New York (351,00 people), and for thousands of "farm workers" in California. 

An early indication of what a fustercluck Obamacare really is.  Of course, those of us with BRAINS knew this all along.

If the new Republican Congress doesn't dismantle this nightmare next year, then this will all end up in the SCOTUS, and many of the Obamacare provisions will be declared unconstitutional.

Equal protection under the law. Can't have all these waivers if you take that fundemental right seriously.

Another reaon why this wil be struck down in court.

And I think those of us who don't get the waivers ought to boycott McDonalds until they drop the petition.  >:(

You're right.   Enough of these well intentioned halfway measures.
I suggest single payer for all.   Expand Medicare.  Immediately.

Really? Explain how we immediately find enough doctors, nurses, surgeons, specialists etc to handle the immediate expansion of tens of millions now covered.

It's way worse than that. The shortages will come when tons of doctors and nurses get out of healthcare. Doctors will retire early. Others will go back to their country of origin and many more will not give up a decade of their lives and go hundreds of thousands into debt for an ever declining return.
