Third paragraph of your article:

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.

This sounds like a good idea to me. Give them a waiver to prevent part time employees - who really don't deserve full time benefits to begin with - and allow the rest of the full time employees to keep their benefits.

Why do you twist this around saying "look what our government is doing" when the truth seems to be - from your own article - is going to keep hundreds of thousands of people in healthcare.

I love politics. "Let's take an article and make it look like the government is denying people stuff, when the truth is they are trying to save stuff".
