For a law that was supposed to save America by making health care more affordable, the list of companies and unions who are being given the green light to ‘opt out’ seems to be growing by the day.

Since the last wave of ObamaCare waivers was released a few weeks ago, the number of unions and companies that have received ObamaCare waivers has doubled to 222.  The number of known unions that inhabit this list is near 50.

If ObamaCare keeps going at the rate it’s going (and it hasn’t even gone into effect yet), perhaps the GOP won’t need to repeal it–We can all just get waivers instead.
