Excerpt:
Last month it was revealed that 111 companies had received one year waivers from costly provisions of Obamacare.
[…]Yesterday HHS updated their site to show that the number of “waived” organizations has now doubled to 222. The total number of people excused from this particular requirement of the new law has gone from 1.1 million to 1.5 million in one month. The largest single addition is American Heritage Life Insurance Company with nearly 70,000 employees. There are also quite a few union locals on the updated list:
- Bricklayers Local 1 – 1,985 employees
- International Brotherhood of Trade Unions Local 713 – 861 employees
- Local 1102 has three listings – 6,271 employees
- Local 338 – 18,209 employees
- SoCal Pipe Trades – 12,700
- Teamsters Local 522 – 270
- UFCW Local 1445 – 148
- Plumbers and Pipefitters Local 630 – 1,166
- UFCW Local 1000 – 3,855
- SEIU Greater New York – 4,544
- Laundry and Dry Cleaning Workers Local 52 – 1,547
- Social Service Employees Union Local 371 – 34,000
I think that the aim is to cause small businesses to go out of businesses so that the government has an easier time controlling the economy, which is what socialists want. It is much harder to control a massive number of cats than a handful of mules.
