A gold-plated healthcare plan lies at the center of a dispute between writers and major studios

But....obamacare is the best, right?

So these Clowns at the drop of a hat would insert into a script the virtues of Odungacare. Yet in real life nothing but the Gold plated, next to nothing cost plan will do. There is a word for that, but it is redundant.

Strangely, these are the same liberals that don’t blink an eye when their fellow travelers (progressive) want to tax the ever living crap out of anybody making a self substaining living...

Weird..../ S

Hypocrites should be forced to accept obamacare since they voted and love hillary obama and the rest of the criminal hypocrites

Go on strike. Summer’s almost here, no one will notice. Too busy enjoying life.

Real link to the story

Guild officials also say that high mental health costs among its members are weighing on the fund. These include sessions with therapists and other mental health professionals.

They've probably skyrocketed since November. How many writers have had to be therapeutically euthanized as the only cure for Trump Derangement Syndrome?

The WGA currently offers a second, less comprehensive plan that is for COBRA participants only.

Kind of tells you what they consider important when they have to pay for it themselves.

What’s the matter with these people?

Don’t they know that if they want first-class health care they have to run for congress?

It's beyond rational thinking to contemplate that the Cantor-Fitzgerald brokerage is paying Obama a four hundred thou speaking fee to talk about....wait for it...."healthcare."

To evade taxes, Obama is probably donating his speaking fees to his foundation....that's more spending money for Michelle. And Cantor Fitzgerald gets shaken down for donations to Obama's foundation.....these are Clinton Crime Family MO's.

=================================================

Obamacare is a stupid failed scam that depended on the stupidity of the American people to get passed (according to architect Jonathan Gruber). From the get go....Obama lied about the plan to dupe Americans. Democrats jumped onboard and continued the Obamacare charade.

MEMORY LANE---As far back as 2008, at the presidential debate in Nashville, Democrat candidate Obama advanced his signature plan that was ultimately enacted (by an historic straight Democrat party-line vote) into the "Affordable Care Act:"

QUOTING OBAMA: "No. 1, let me just repeat, if you’ve got a health care plan that you like, you can keep it. All I’m going to do is help you to lower the premiums on it. You’ll still have choice of doctor.”

Repeated over and over by every loyal Democrat---- conning Americans into believing they'd also be saving $2500.00 on healthcare costs.

Twenty-nine Democrats who voted for it (including onetime lawmaker Landrieu who pocketed a bundle to vote for it) were ousted in the 2014 midterm Democrat Demolition Derby.

Hollyweird to its customers: Obamacare for thee, but not for me.

The plans are probably heavy on drug rehab and mental illness coverage...and marriage counseling.

Yes, when I get almost free gold-plated healthcare for myself, maybe I’ll give a darn what happens to Hollywood people...nope!!
Meanwhile, I’ll keep paying $800/month for a mediocre pile of crap.

Yup. Drug rehab, therapy, and other sicknesses of the mind and eat up quite a bit of costs.

Then, look at the garbage and filth that they write and put on television.

Thanks for the ping!

The writers need to become members of congress to get free stuff.
