ObamaCare Unraveling -- Not a Bakken Story

[Update: holy mackerel -- the number of waivers is now up to 733. Many of them Obama's friends. This is absolutely nuts. January 26, 2011.]

Countless corporations have received waivers from ObamaCare -- I think the number is well above 300 now. Yes, as of December 3, 2010, there were 222 "entities" with approved waivers. [I find it interesting that the update is more than a month old. Most businesses would update their data on a daily basis.]

Today, from the DrudgeReport, we learn that three Service Employees International Union (SEIU) locals, including the Chicago chapter, have been given waivers from the ObamaCare requirement. The SEIU political action committee gave $27 million to support ObamaCare.

Every large corporation who has asked for a waiver has been given one to the best of my knowledge.

With 33 states taking their case to the Supreme Court to also request the opportunity to opt out of ObamaCare, this plan is unraveling faster than an old sweater.

It will be interesting to see how the 33 senators who are up for re-election in 2012 vote on this. Repeal of ObamaCare has already passed the House of Representatives.
