Obamacare Creates Second Class Citizens

Democrats have created second class citizens out of their Obamacare law. If you are politically connected; have enough money and lawyers; you can get a waiver. Some of the biggest proponents for this legislation is exempted from participating, namely unions; and particularly SEIU, which is listed #55 on the United States Health and Human Services website.


The midterm election was a referendum on Democrats and their legislative agenda. Topping that list is Obamacare. The number one priority for the next congress is to repeal or defund this monstrosity; and the socialist who pushed for this law knows it:

"A week ago Tuesday was like a cold shower for some of the organizations that felt that job had been done, that health reform was enacted into law and will be a reality," says Ron Pollack, executive director of Families USA, a consumer group. "If anything, the election results are re-energizing the many groups that worked hard to get the legislation enacted."


Pollack hosted a session Tuesday with about 20 groups representing patients, labor, consumers and health care providers, among others. It was one of many meetings that backers of the law have held since the elections.

Here is what SEIU had to say:

Service Employees International Union president Mary Kay Henry says supporters should promote items such as the law's small-business tax credits and keeping adult children up to age 26 on their parents' health insurance and emphasize the law will "stop this trading of wages for health care that has been going on in the economy for decades."

How can anyone take these people seriously? It must be nice to lecture others and at the same time be a member of a protected class. Talk about having your cake and eating it too. By the way, since when is a 26 year old considered a child? Isn’t an adult child an oxymoron? And somebody should tell this idiot that employers provide health care benefits in addition to wages; not as a trade off.


It seems to me that these exemptions are a violation of the equal protection clause guaranteed under the Fourteenth Amendment. I guess some people are more equal than others.
