Employees of companies that offer health care that "exceed the standard" WILL NOT have to sign up with Obamacare. As Obama said, over and over, "If your company provides health care, YOU CAN KEEP IT!" Since Ten seems to be the type of un-adventurous, brown-nosing drone that works for the same company forever, he'll never have to worry about it. So, you could say they're "pre-waivered".

CJ, > So, what is your point? You justified waivers for certain businesses on the notion that those businesses already offered benefits that "exceed the standard." I pointed out that most businesses offer benefits that "exceed the standard." Yet even you agreed that this alone wouldn't automatically qualify them for waivers. So we're back to square one. Why did Pelosi's district get a disproportionate amount of ObamaCare waivers? If it's because SF already has health care, then why not a blanket exemption for all of SF? My answers are: a) Gotta force everyone to pay into ObamaCare so that the few that don't have benefits can finally get some. b) Exceptions are businesses that are politically connected and can pull strings to avoid having to pay.
