ObamaCare discriminates. It gives special treatment to special friends of the administration--1,200 waivers of special folks, but not waivers for everybody. It also treats Big Business better than it does individual Americans. It delays ObamaCare 1 year for Big Business, but not individuals. That is discrimination. Treat everybody the same. Waivers for all or no waivers for anyone. You've delayed implementation for 1 year for Big Business; delay it for individuals as well. It's interesting. If ObamaCare is good for everybody, why isn't Obama under ObamaCare, and his staff, and the Cabinet? Put everybody in ObamaCare. That is why we have this fight, because ObamaCare discriminates, and it's a fight worth having. Defund it until everybody is treated fair. No discrimination. And that's just the way it is. ____________________
