The Six Types of Obamacare Waivers
John Vinci
You cannot listen to news about Obamacare without hearing about waivers. Obamacare waivers not only evidence a poorly conceived law, but the very need for a waiver transfers power to a bureaucracy where the individual, organization, or firm with the best lobbyists wins. What you may not know is that there are actually several types of waivers.
You cannot listen to news about Obamacare without hearing about waivers. Obamacare waivers not only evidence a poorly conceived law, but the very need for a waiver transfers power to a bureaucracy where the individual, organization, or firm with the best lobbyists wins. What you may not know is that there are actually several types of waivers:
MLR waiver for mini-med health insurance plans
Annual limit waiver
MLR waiver for States
State innovation waiver
ACO anti-trust waivers
Individual mandate waivers
Do you understand what any of those things mean?
The "MLR mini-med" waivers expired in 2011. They were temporary extensions on Medical Loss Ratio requirements for a few companies with "mini-med" plans.
The "annual limit waivers" expire on Jan. 1st, and are the ones I described above.
The "State MLR waivers" apply only to entire states, and I don't believe that any were given.
The "State innovation waivers" also don't actually exist, and would only apply to entire states.
And even your article says that "ACO anti-trust waivers" don't actually exist.
Individual mandates apply to individuals, not companies. These are the "religious exemption" waivers, and the like.
Literally everything you said is wrong. Look it up and stop being a moron. All links including HHS links are current.
You really need to read the links you post.
It might help prevent you from embarrassing yourself in the future.
