WestVirginiaRebel Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 CNS News:(CNSNews.com) – Three local chapters of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), whose political action committee spent $27 million supporting Barack Obama in the 2008 presidential election, have received temporary waivers from a provision in the Obamacare law.The three SEIU chapters include the Local 25 in Obama’s hometown of Chicago.The waivers allow health insurance plans to limit how much they will spend on a policy holder’s medical coverage for a given year. Under the new health care law, however, such annual limits are phased out by the year 2014. (Under HHS regulations, annual limits can be no less than $750,000 for 2011, no less than $1.25 million in 2012 and no less than $2 million in 2013.)The SEIU, with more than 2 million members nationally, includes health care workers, janitors, security guards, and state and local government workers.The three SEIU locals, covering a total of 36,064 enrollees, are covered by the federal waivers, according to the Department of Health and Human Services.________If I win the Lotto, can I use some of the money to get a waiver, too?
