Nearly a million workers won't get a consumer protection in the U.S. health reform law meant to cap insurance costs because the government exempted their employers.
Thirty companies and organizations, including McDonald's (MCD) and Jack in the Box (JACK), won't be required to raise the minimum annual benefit included in low-cost health plans, which are often used to cover part-time or low-wage employees.

The Department of Health and Human Services, which provided a list of exemptions, said it granted waivers in late September so workers with such plans wouldn't lose coverage from employers who might choose instead to drop health insurance altogether.

Without waivers, companies would have had to provide a minimum of $750,000 in coverage next year, increasing to $1.25 million in 2012, $2 million in 2013 and unlimited in 2014.

The biggest single waiver, for 351,000 people, was for the United Federation of Teachers Welfare Fund, a New York union providing coverage for city teachers.

Anybody hear of Equal Protection? Can't force anybody to buy a private insurance contract, not for medical and not for automobile.

Super size this.

I all but stopped going to McDonalds a long time ago. Stuff as many 2 egg mcmuffins for 2$ in your face as you want.

But it does show that, in Obama's world, some are more equal than others.

That's a pretty good argument for "Obama is a cretin."
