Since HHS announced Wednesday that an additional 500 companies would receive waivers in 2011 from ObamaCare's requirement that their annual health care benefits reach at least a $750,000 minimum, further research has been done on the recipients of these one-year exemptions. The Washington Examiner reports that of the 2.1 million employees now allowed to keep their company's health care plans, approximately 40% - or 860,000 employees - are union workers. (For some further insight and perspective on this disproportionate figure, consider the Bureau of Labor and Statistics calculation that union membership is 36.2% for public sector workers and only 6.9% for private sector workers.)
