... huge financial windfalls ObamaCare will dole out to unions—or to the provisions in the various bills in Congress that will help bring about the forced unionization of the health-care industry. ... Monopoly bargaining and compulsory union dues may quickly become a required standard resulting in potentially hundreds of thousands of doctors and nurses across the country being forced into unions ... forced unionization schemes ... taxing American workers' existing health-care benefits—but he would exempt union-negotiated health-care plans ... employers could allow a union to come in and negotiate less costly benefits than would otherwise be required.

The entire bill needs to be laid to rest and we need some vocal Republicans or Independents to voice this and show WHY—in a loud, clear voice.

Every Congressperson that votes for this should be thrown out of office AND forced to be treated by union workers. Including Barak O’Hoffa and Nazi Pelsoi.

This is so outrageous it is unbelieveable.

My friends died because of a union strike of ambulence workers in California. They were in a high speed headon car accident and the ambulences didn’t arrive for hours because the strike wasn’t scheduled to end until midnight. They died but two of them would have lived with timely treatment.

Union scum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

Republicans have to hold the rats’ feet to the fire. Unions and congress should not be exempted from having the same health care plan as the rest of us will be vulnerable to. This garbage better not pass.

and this is why we have Bam on the run...he can take a one-hour prime time speech in front of a Joint Session of Congress to try and rebut a handful of charges, but there will always be more. The onion just has too many layers.

How long did that Tele-prompter-thon go on?

I finished watching So You Think You Can Dance and switched to watch Criminal Minds and he was still refereeing a tennis match.

And no one had any idea this would happen?....The media did it’s job in selling America a moderate, smiling Obama. I didn’t believe it for one second. His background told me this was going to happen. Everything for the unions thru higher taxes on everyone!

The AFL-CIO affiliated Amalgamated Meat Cutters local in Sacramento recently cut/eliminated the promised medical benefits of a friend who has been retired for 10+ years. I suppose the union is using the savings of those health insurance premiums to pay their union thugs.
