But under business threats of dropping employee health care, waivers to the allegedly-wonderful ObamaCare are being granted by the Obama administration.
The latest, and if you are counting, the 222nd waiver, has been issued to that southern icon, Waffle House, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution is reporting:
These waivers deal with limited health benefit plans, sometimes referred to as "mini-med" policies, which companies as large as McDonald's use for some its employees.Technorati tags:
The plan have limits on how much can be paid out in coverage, limits which would be phased out under the new health reform law.
The feds though have granted waivers from that law, amid concern that certain groups would drop their health insurance programs entirely. Those waivers are good for one year, and can be considered for renewal.
A spokeswoman for Waffle House refused to explain the need for the waiver, saying "because Waffle House is a private company, we are going to decline to comment."
