Synopsis: 27 Labor Unions oppose Senate Finance Committee health insurance reform plan passed yesterday (Oct 12).
Where is the link?
You beat me to it. I was trying to get it in the second post.
I have seen several news stories on this. They are opposing it because it doesn’t include a public option. They should be opposing it because it will tax their Cadillac insurance plans. Oh, wait. Except for the House bill, which would exempt union members from paying the tax on Cadillac plans while slapping everyone else with a big, fat tax to provide health care to illegals.
That’s great news! Without Union support it’s a much tougher fight to get this POS passed.
“which would exempt union members from paying the tax”
Constitutional???
That’s true, they are opposing it for their own reasons.
But still, it’s opposition ... and the wheels are coming off of this bus.
There is that. I have been saying since last summer that such a provision ought to be a poison pill. Imagine running for re-election as a Democrat (or Republican, for that matter) and having to explain why you voted for a bill that penalizes most people while carving out special tax protection for union members.
I would be cautious as to this being a distraction as the Union is solidly in thuggery cahoots with Obama and Co.
Of course it is the usual union agitprop on behalf of BO, street theater devised to make the dummies think there is a “debate” going on.
So true. Lie after lie after lie. No foundation and issues of lies. Not America at all.
