Everyone knows the failed socialist policies in SanFrancisco, Detroit, NewYork, etc would be successful at the national level...

Because they already HAVE universal health care in SF, and Dallas and Houston do not?

Ted, > In actuality, Aitken explained, the high percentage of waivers is the byproduct of local law rubbing against the new national legislation.

Which would still make Nancy Pelosi a flippin' hypocrite.

Republicans have always been about more local government and less federal government. That includes letting San Francisco implement its own health care laws and regulations.

ObamaCare seeks to impose itself upon everyone and every locality. If it doesn't fit well with San Francisco's laws, why should SF businesses get waivers and not, say, businesses in Houston or Dallas?


The US is a nation; not a series of city states. Republicans are about lining the pockets of corps and not what's best for cities.

"why should SF businesses get waivers and not, say, businesses in Houston or Dallas?"

You'd have a case if you proved that businesses in Houston or Dallas had applied and been denied and ones in SF did and got approved.

Since you didn't, well...
