MICKIE-D SAVED BY "THE DEAL"

Hey, read my post from 10-2 re. McDonald's mini-med policies. Here's the follow up.

Today Obama announced that 30 businesses will get a 1-year exemption from portions of Obamacare. McDonald's is one of the "chosen," the "exempt."

Good for you if you work for one of the chosen companies, but too bad, so sad if you work for any of the other thousands of companies who will be forced to comply with all Obamacare rules.

Right now it's a crap shoot if you are not a chosen employer. You are at the mercy of Obama and Kathleen Sebelius, waiting for them to decide what they like and whom they want to favor.

And what happened to the "lie" we were told that Obamacare would "level the playing field?" This exemption creates exactly what Obama claimed was a problem - an unequal playing field. What does he think this does??

Oh, yes, and there's the administration's promise that if you like your insurance you can keep your insurance. What they didn't tell you is that you can only keep it as long as they allow for "exemptions" from Obamacare. Listen up, Folks, the exemptions granted today are only good for ONE YEAR. Then it is back to the rules.

This just goes to show what can happen when people with absolutely nil experience in anything decide they can govern an industry better than the industry can govern itself.

And this is just the beginning of the spreading malignancy known as Obamacare.

Congratulations, McDonalds and 29 other companies. You just shafted the rest of us.
