First off, let me say that you may be better off using a different strategy
for this.  But I don't know much about your application, so you may not.

Aha, syntax error, you forgot the nested quotes:

FOR getpercentiles IN EXECUTE ''SELECT * FROM get_facility_percentiles(''''''
|| wagerateid_list || '''''')'' LOOP

FWIW, version 8.0 will have a feature to do away with the nested-quote-mania.
