If this powergrab is so damned wonderful, then why is the government handing out waivers to those who plead for them?

Number of healthcare reform law waivers climbs above 1,000

The number of temporary healthcare reform waivers granted by the Obama administration to organizations climbed to more than 1,000, according to new numbers disclosed by the Department of Health and Human Services.

HHS posted 126 new waivers on Friday, bringing the total to 1,040 organizations that have been granted a one-year exemption from a new coverage requirement included in the healthcare reform law enacted almost a year ago. Waivers have become a hot-button issue for Republicans, eager to expose any vulnerabilities in the reform law....

..."We don't want to take away people's health insurance before they have some realistic other choices,” HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said in an interview with The Hill earlier this year.

More at The Hill...
                                                                       

My follow up question: "So you admit then, that your eventual goal is to take away people's health insurance once the government has some "other realistic choices" in place?"

Of course, that question will never be asked.

"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

- Thomas Jefferson

One would be tempted to *think* she is referring to the "state-run insurance exchanges" due in 2014; I choose to believe she means government-supplied "health" non-care as the only other realistic "choice".

Yeah, so much for Equal Protection. The law applies to you unless you have a cozy business relationship with the White House.
