Do you think Obamacare will be repealed?

"Excuse me, but WTF?
The entire state of Maine has received a waiver from the provision of the unconstitutional ObamaCare health insurance law that states insurers must pay out at least $0.80 of every dollar in premiums for health care costs.
If ObamaCare rocks so Goddamned hard, why does it only work if everyone gets a waiver?
Are we really a nation of laws when a singular executive decides who does and does not have to follow laws duly passed by Congress? Clearly, this law is not worth following, but that’s beside the point. It was vitally important that this law be enacted or we were all going to die and go bankrupt, and now Obama sits atop his imaginary throne and decrees which people do and do not have to follow which portions of selected laws."
Big businesses get waivers, too:
"The Obama Administration has quietly granted even more waivers to one provision of the new federal health reform law, doubling the number in just the last three weeks to a new total of 222.
One of the more recognizable business names included on the newly-expanded list of waivers issued by the feds is that of Waffle House, which received a waiver on November 23 for health coverage that covers 3,947 enrollees.
Another familiar name was that of Universal Orlando, which runs a variety of very popular resorts in the Orlando, Florida area. Universal was given a waiver for plans that cover 668 workers.
These waivers deal with limited health benefit plans, sometimes referred to as “mini-med” policies, which companies as large as McDonald’s use for some its employees.
The plan have limits on how much can be paid out in coverage, limits which would be phased out under the new health reform law.
The feds though have granted waivers from that law, amid concern that certain groups would drop their health insurance programs entirely. Those waivers are good for one year, and can be considered for renewal."

As of February, 1,040 huge corporations have received a waiver. Nevada, Kentucky, and New Hampshire are next in line for state waivers. What is the point of the fucking legislation if some states can opt out and other states cannot?
I can't believe we have to deal with this level of stupidity at the federal level.
