Right-wing site Daily Caller is hopping mad that, allegedly, about twenty percent of the ‘Obamacare’ waivers issued recently by the President, exempting specific businesses from the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, went to “gourmet restaurants, four-star hotels, day spas, and hip nightclubs” in Nancy Pelosi’s district. Among the restaurants given waivers were Café Des Amis, Boboquivari’s, Café Mason, and Franciscan Crab. They quote Sarah Palin as saying, “Unflippingbelievable! No, wait, it is believable.” Expect this to continue to make headlines as more Republicans latch on. But naturally there’s no mention of Healthy SF, because that wouldn’t fit into their rhetoric.
