Waiver-mania, click here. "Now comes word that Torquemada HHS Secretay Kathleen Sebelius has approved a whopping 111 waivers for businesses of all sizes, along with more unions and other providers of health insurance. The escapees include employers of many low-wage and part-time workers whose health insurance plans would otherwise be dropped, including Darden Restaurants — the parent company of the Olive Garden and Red Lobster and other chains, which employ some 34,000 people."
McDonald's Carlson Restaurants Dish Networks to name a few.
Unrelated anecdote:
Speaking of politics, money and television, I’m reminded of a somewhat related story. One evening years ago I was out with my former boss, the president of a mid-sized broadcast company, along with a few other people. One of the other people at the table worked for a bank, and the topic of “getting the money out of politics” came up.
The banker, like Kevin Spacey, said television stations should give their time to politicians for free. My boss, without missing a beat, asked, “Why don’t the banks just give them the money?”
The banker went back to eating her salad without saying a word.
