WASHINGTON (AP) — Low-income workers on union health plans are not eligible for the same federal subsidies available to those who buy insurance in the new state health care marketplaces, the White House said Friday.

The decision is a disappointment for labor unions, coming shortly after top union officials met for more than an hour with President Barack Obama to press their case that subsidies could be extended to union-sponsored plans.

I don’t buy it. From what I’ve heard Richard Trumpka seemed quite pleased when he left the white house.

Either a knife in the back to the unions or another head-fake. Time to watch the other hand, again.

I don’t think so. I believe the fix was in for the unions to be accommodated long before ObamaCare was passed. The rest if for show.

But some union leaders have complained for months that it is not being implemented fairly.

In other words...we aren't used to be treated like the average Joe Citizen...

We have to pass the bill to find out what is in it.

Yet according to this story this decision was made today.

In other words it wasn’t in the bill/
In other words they are still making up the bill as they go along. The Bill wasn’t made by Congress it is up to the White House what the bill is. The White House is making key decisions.

What a flustercluck.

Very good! These union thugs just got shafted with the rest of us. Best they get enraged and do the violence to stop this. Then we jail them too.

Obama got what he wanted and needed from the unions. They are of no further use to him. He knows they will not oppose him politically even as they whine and bitch. Therefore he will ignore them from hence forward.

Who knows what to believe? When it comes to Obamacare, nobody knows what’s in it. And, contrary to Pelosi, they never will.

Yup.
Some screwy thing is going on.
We will hear about it, maybe, and they’ll pretend nothing is amiss.
