Well, yes. A waiver has to be given to Vermont to let it opt out of Obamacare - a wavier the current administration has said they're going to give Vermont based on current information, as the VT healthcare bill would do more than Obamacare would. Obama has said, at least, that he doesn't plan to give waivers to states to implement less rather than more protection for its citizens. I'm all for having waivers to Obamacare for states that think it doesn't do enough - it's waiving it in states that want to do nothing instead that I have a problem with.
