AFL-CIO Tells Congress No Repeal Without Replace
AFL-CIO ^ | January 9, 2017 | AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka

Posted on 01/09/2017 3:39:56 PM PST by mdittmar

Today, as Congress debates the future of the Affordable Care Act, the AFL-CIO sent the following letter to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Speaker of the House Paul Ryan and all members of the U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives.

Signed by AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka, the letter urges Republican leaders to abandon plans to roll back coverage protections and declares it “reckless to repeal the ACA without providing an immediate replacement.” The letter also details how the core components of the Republican health care plan pose serious threats to working people in America.

REPEAL!

The "replacement" is what the Dems want to keep as much Obamacare intact as possible, so that they can later call it "Trumpcare" and use it against Republicans in 2018.

Any "replacement" plan offered by the Republicans will get drowned out by the Dims and their liberal allies because it's going "too far!"

Republicans:

You must repeal Obamacare.

The last time I read the Constitution of the United States of America, I don’t recall reading that the AFL-CIO had any power over the Congress....

Dear AFLCIO:
Go negotiate a good plan on behalf of your members, and adjust their dues accordingly. Beyond that, GTFO of my health care.
Sincerely,

“Didn’t Obama give Trumpka and AFL - CIO an ObamaCare exemption?”

They lobbied for exemptions and for subsidizing their own health plans.

“AFL-CIO calls ObamaCare ‘highly disruptive’ to union health plans”

So he was against ObamCare for his own union members and demanded an exemption, but now he is for it, except for his own union members .
