To the Victors Go the Spoils

One naturally rewards political supporters. So what does this news tell us about Obamacare?

Of the 204 new Obamacare waivers President Barack Obama’s administration approved in April, 38 are for fancy eateries, hip nightclubs and decadent hotels in House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s Northern California district.

That’s in addition to the 27 new waivers for health care or drug companies and the 31 new union waivers Obama’s Department of Health and Human Services approved.

If the law is so great, wouldn't the administration be tryng to accelerate the program for supporters rather than delaying it for them?

At this rate, I'd expect a waiver for the entire state of Ohio to be issued sometime in early fall 2012.
