Nearly 20 percent of new Obamacare waivers are gourmet restaurants, nightclubs, fancy hotels in Nancy Pelosi’s district

Of the 204 new Obamacare waivers President Barack Obama’s administration approved in April, 38 are for fancy eateries, hip nightclubs and decadent hotels in House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s Northern California district.

That’s in addition to the 27 new waivers for health care or drug companies and the 31 new union waivers Obama’s Department of Health and Human Services approved.

Pelosi’s district secured almost 20 percent of the latest issuance of waivers nationwide, and the companies that won them didn’t have much in common with companies throughout the rest of the country that have received Obamacare waivers.

Other common waiver recipients were labor union chapters, large corporations, financial firms and local governments. But Pelosi’s district’s waivers are the first major examples of luxurious, gourmet restaurants and hotels getting a year-long pass from Obamacare.

Before hanging up on TheDC, Tru Spa’s owner said new government health care regulations, both the federal-level Obamacare and new local laws in Northern California, have “devastated” the business. “It’s been bad for us,” he said, without divulging his name, referring to the new health care restrictions.

But, the spa owner wouldn’t talk about it or the reason his company sought a waiver. He hung up after saying, “I’ve got clients on the other line, good-bye.”

Well, At least the Unions aren't getting any waivers ..

i can only assume (and hope ) you are being sarcastic

public option or Universal health care is the only way to go , if we had it ( u haters would be in the minority)

Like I said, not a damn bit of condemnation from the left over this waivers. Not even an explanation.

After banging one's head against the same wall 437 times, some people begin to realize the the wall never moves.

Wow, a health spa got a waiver. Massive conspiracy must be at play...

Thanks for that.
So, what are YOUR feelings on these waivers and special favors for friends of prominent Democrats?

That's about the response I expected.

The fact that the spa just happend to be in Pelosi's district, doesn't mean anything to you huh? And why would a waiver even be needed? We were all told how great this program is.
