What this shows is that Obama is a corporatist just like Bush and Company. Big companies get handouts that small and mid size companies or individuals never could.

Government panders to the upper class and to a lesser extend the lower class... but never ever the middle class. :sadwave:

I hope the GOP takes a stand and puts a stop to those waivers! But I ain't holding my breath.

The Service Employees Benefit Fund, which insures a total of 12,000 SEIU health care workers in upstate New York, secured its Obamacare exemption in October. The Local 25 SEIU Welfare Fund in Chicago also nabbed a waiver for 31,000 of its enrollees. SEIU, of course, was one of Obamacare?s loudest and biggest spending proponents. The waivers come on top of the massive sweetheart deal that SEIU and other unions cut with the Obama administration to exempt them from the health care mandate?s onerous ?Cadillac tax? on high-cost health care plans until 2018.

Other unions who won protection from Obamacare:
? United Food and Commercial Workers Allied Trade Health and Welfare Trust Fund
? International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Union No. 915
? Asbestos Workers Local 53 Welfare Fund
? Employees Security Fund
? Plumbers and Pipefitters Local 123 Welfare Fund
? United Food and Commercial Workers Local 227
? United Food and Commercial Workers Local 455 (Maximus)
? United Food and Commercial Workers Local 1262
? Musicians Health Fund Local 802
? Hospitality Benefit Fund Local 17
? Transport Workers Union
? United Federation of Teachers Welfare Fund
? International Union of Painters and Allied Trades (AFL-CIO)
? Plus two organizations that appear to be chapters of the International Longshoremen?s Association (ILA)
(The list of most recently approved refugees is here.)

Following months of procedural and political back and forth, stand-alone legislation that would repeal the 1099 tax reporting requirement for businesses included in the Affordable Care Act (or the health care reform law) was signed by President Barack Obama on April 15. This reporting requirement would have required businesses to file a 1099 form with the Internal Revenue Service every time they spent more than $600 a year with another business - greatly increasing the burden on businesses.
To offset the revenue losses by the repeal of this provision, the repeal legislation requires eligible individuals to repay the subsidies they are eligible for under the health care reform law if their income rises above 400% of the federal poverty level.
Passage of the 1099 repeal legislation is considered a victory for business groups that have expressed opposition to the provision since the health care reform law's passage last year, but this also represents the first time the health care reform law has been successfully changed.

Not surprised that Maine got a waiver....Snowe voted for the bill and here is her payback

If the bill is so good and is going to help so many people, why are so many companies and unions getting waivers from it?
