That's one of many reasons why Obamacare is such bad legislation. The legislation actually sets up this waiver system as a part of the process, but it doesn't specify what criteria is used. The Secretary can just make it up, any way he or she sees fit. That's not a bug, it's a feature. It is all about control.
