Health and Human Services deadline to disarm mini-med waivers?

It sounds like the Obama administration was embarrassed by the need for Obamacare supporters to get waivers from the law they wanted to impose on the rest of the country. If you voted for Obama and want a waiver, you'd better hurry up and apply before September. After that, we'll be in the final run of a presidential campaign, and it would be too distracting for voters to hear about the latest Obamacare waivers.

> HHS has come under intense scrutiny by Republican lawmakers and other critics of the year-old reform law for granting the waivers. Critics have called it a form of cronyism, and hinted that HHS played favorites with the waivers by awarding them to businesses and labor unions who supported the new law.
