Ping this around.
If taxpayers learn about this provision it could well bring down the whole house of cards.
It's one thing to get people to understand the complexity of health care.
It's easy to get them to understand CORRUPTION!

You are right. And when they pass Card Check (forced unionization) every one will retire from a union. Also union plans are exempt from single payer - I think I read.

This explains why Unions would want this bill passed.
And that means they will use violence to shut down protest.

Payback. UAW money and UAW votes put the Community Organizer in the White House.
Nothing to see here. SOP.

Federal employees can retire at age 55. So can plenty of law enforcement folks.

I think I'm going to be sick.
Obama is throwing under the train the entire group of Democrats and Independents who are not part of a union, but voted for him.
To any freeper lawyer, cannot the bill be challenged for mandating separate insurance for unions and government workers (something along the lines of equal protection under the law)?

And the whole “tax your health-care benefit” section exempts union-negotiated health-care plans, so that if such a provision is included in the law, union members won’t have to pay the tax that everyone else will have to pay on a benefit we don’t get taxed on now.

Paying off the UAW retirees is the price the Democrats,with taxpayers money, is what they do to get Union support for Obamacare AND the Auto Industry bankruptcy. In the UAW the Retirees have a lot of power. They are going to get theirs no matter how many young UAW workers are thrown under the train.

Yes. When I was writing about this last week I wondered if this is a foot in the door to fund all those state employee health-plans-for-life....the ones the states/cities have set NO money aside for.
I don’t want to pay for all those California public retirees!
