So why don’t you SLIDE.... - GooGoo Dolls
The Trump administration is taking steps to prevent labor unions from withholding dues for home healthcare workers from their Medicaid payments, an Obama-era innovation that many observers believe is illegal.
On Tuesday, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) proposed undoing a 2014 rule allowing states to skim public-sector union dues from Medicaid payments to independent home healthcare providers on the theory that those providers are de facto public employees — a privilege that has netted unions anywhere from $71 million (CMS’ estimate) to $200 million (State Policy Network) annually.
In recent years, public-sector unions have managed to convince several state governments that home caregivers should be classified as public employees and thus that the state should force them to join unions and have dues withheld from their Medicaid payments. This wasn’t exactly a hard sell given that those governments were controlled by Democrats, who stood to benefit from unions’ swelling coffers.
Home caregivers involuntary union dues - we have been letting this crap 'slide' for too long. Very happy that this part of the dem robbery arm is being addressed.
I was about to get on a union roll yesterday but was interrupted by my girlfriend whose Aunt is dying. Obamacare increased her medical insurance premium by over $600 per month so she had to cancel it. No more doctor checkups and found out on Friday she has untreatable stage 4 cancer and was put into hospice on a morphine drip, waiting for the end. Don't know how to slide that one. Obamacare kills.
There is so much in the world today to get angry about, and don't have time to address all of them. Even responding to trolls on this thread takes time away from addressing more important things (hard to resist commenting though sometimes). I try to segment stuff and get agitated only about the critical things and let the rest go.
Have a successful Monday!
