This is how Democrats say thanks Today Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid went on KNPR in Las Vegas to discuss current affairs. One question he faced was about union uproar over Obamacare. Harry Reid said its time for them to give up their Cadillac plans and put some skin in the game.
Lets understand where we are with the unions. One of the things weve learned with all of the hearings we held, dozens and dozens of them, is that if you have insurance you have to be able to have some skin in the game as we say in Las Vegas. And that means you just cant keep running to the doctor with no deductible whatsoever. These are referred to as the Cadillac plans. And the Cadillac plans werent fair to other people
You have to have I repeat skin in the game.

So much for keeping your current insurance plan if you like it.
This Mullatto a hole can go fk himself!
He must be referring to those stink tourists that plague the capitol in the summer.
You first, you old, hypocritical reprobate.
“For Mr Reid to speak so confidently, he must believe that the law is unassailable, and that the unions are either expendable or inevitably loyal. Time will tell.”
The unions will have to get it through their heads just like conservatives, they’ve been tossed overboard for the illegal hordes about to be given citizenship.
The political elite are catering to a whole new constituency.
“the unions are either expendable or inevitably loyal. Time will tell.”
Harry should take a look at history. Nixon and Reagan were able to secure enough of the union vote to win. Nixon used the threat of over reaching civil rights activists; Reagan appealed to individuals love of country. All IMO of course.
Now then, if the GOP were smart enough to go completely conservative and they were able to pick up a portion of the union vote, it could turn out to be a good mid term. If they go along with the immigration crap and do not challenge Obamacare, they will chase away any potential to get those union votes as open immigration is a bane to unions along with a complete destruction of our sovreighty and they hate Obamacare to boot. A lot of balls in the air but expect bonehead and mcconnel to drop at least one of the pop flies.
Unions love Communism, they begged for Obamacare and celebrated when it was passed..suck it up unions, bend over, and enjoy, you wanted it
Someday you gotta know that someone is going to get Harry
Maybe the Union bosses will be the ones.
It is astounding
this country is so far gone now, they wont wake up or see where this is about to go,
I also wonder how many have ever considered another reason for harrys current (gotta do it now!) mad push for illegal immigration, is to get them into the system and accounted for before all this kicks in,
for the reason that when this corrupt obamantioncare is in full swing and the government has complete visibility and access to all of your activities and financial records. Americans might begin to see if for what it really is, complete and total control over every aspect of their lives,
it may begin to appear that your next door illegal’ neighbor has more freedoms in this country than Americans supposedly still under the constitution,
it would’nt do to have millions of such examples going about day to day on the streets to remind us how far we’ve fallen into tyranny,
Obamaspeak: We are going to kill your health plan, so you will not get to keep your health plan.
You will be forced into Obamacare and there isn't a damn thing you can do! So live with it serfs.
Snicker, snort, bwahahaahaha!!!!!!!!
I am sure the unions are just gonna LOVE that.
LOL re union goons getting screwed by their progressive overlords! And yet, as surely as spring turns to summer, and summer to fall, next election cycle, they’ll all line up at the polls (several times over) like good little drones to reelect Reid, Pelosi, et al. There’s just no fix for stupid....
‘zackly.
This was theirs.
Reid is playing politics....the Unions are covered or will be...by a waiver or we the taxpayer will subsidize their premiums
There is no way the democrats are going to screw over their GOTV storm troopers.....their enforcers, ....the other half of their payola corruption loop....
Reid is playing us for fools....
Bingo. Right on.
Exactly what I was going to write. Leftists have short memories, and don’t study history.
If they get the immigration bill passed they don’t need the unions.
He must be pretty confident it will pass to toss the unions under the bus so early.
I find the Obastard Admin really easy to understand. Just take what ever they say and turn it around 180 degrees, then you have the truth. If they consistently lie then there is no problem figuring things out.
