  • The Health and Human Services Department granted 39 new waivers last month from part of the healthcare law, bringing the total to just shy of 1,500

Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) said he will introduce a bill next week to let every American apply for a waiver from the healthcare law.

  • "Each waiver demonstrates that the president’s health care law is a complete failure," Barrasso said in a statement.

Beginning in 2014, the new law bans annual caps on benefits. It requires those caps to gradually increase in the interim.
