Hey, it’s not our fault. We didn’t read the friggin thing.
What is funny about this is that he unions were all on board with Obama care when it was being railroaded through congress. They were too stupid to read the bill or to think about what it meant before they helped to pass it. In that sense they are getting what they deserve. Sadly- Innocent American are being punished too.
You idiots wholeheartedly supported it. You live with it.
It's YOUR president and YOUR healthcare and YOUR FAULT.
It might actually be worth it, then.
Screw them, where those Obama butt kissers when we needed them?
They are finally reading it and not liking what they are finding in it.
Too bad somebody didn’t read the damn thing before they passed it.
But, hey, y’all can trust Nancy. It will be good for you. It won’t taste any worse than a spoonful of caster oil. [/s]
This is not just crying over spilled milk ... it’s more calculated than it seems.
Some years ago a friend of a friend of mine was staring up a restaurant in a union hotel. He was simultaneously negotiating with the union and trying to drum up investors. The union rep was perfectly reasonable until the most important potential investor walked into the restaurant. Foolishly, they had told the rep how important the investor was. Whereupon she started screaming, literally screaming that they were trying to steamroll her and etc etc until they hastily promised whatever perk she was negotiating for at that time to quiet her down and prevent the investor from fleeing, leaving everyone out of a job.
The lesson is, they have excellent timing and they are willing to bring down the whole ship unless they get what they want.
Here, what they are angling for is that the government will subsidize their cadillac health plans by giving their members the same price cap that they would have gotten on the exchanges. Then everyone will want to join a union because they will get a much better plan than on the exchange, at the same price. These letters are a shot across the Administration’s bow, early enough to threaten to screw up the 2014 elections for the Democrats without actually doing it ... yet. When the Democrats get depserate they will gladly spend whatever it takes (out of our pockets) to stop the screaming. This will surely involve some convoluted finding that union plans are somehow eligible for the exchange subsidy / price cap.
Who is to blame? Was it just Obama pushing for it?
Easy... just stop voting like automatons! :)
My theory is that this criticism is by design. The unions are giving Obama and the other Marxists an excuse to get out of Obamacare without upsetting the Left.
Union leaders have sold out their members.
That's what you get for bending over for Pelosi and Reed and giving Obama the Satanic Kiss !
This could be a big problem for the Rats in next year’s elections.
The unions paid for nobamacare. Now they want their money back? Guess they didn’t read the part about this being a “where is, as is” deal. Perhaps Pelosi can point out that section of the law for them.
Suck it, union pukes.
Union scum got what they pushed for.
Now they bitch about it.
How are those coal industry jobs workin’ out?
>> “the Very Health And Wellbeing of Our Members”
A coincidence of interests, but it’s still about the members as far as the union is concerned with seemingly little if any regard for the Country as a whole.
Lie down in the bed you made and die!!!
the Union RATS are figuring out that their party cares only about their votes and nothing more....awwwww,tooooo baaaadddd
