IRS Employees Union Is 'Very Concerned' About Being Required To Enroll In Obamacare

Full title: IRS Employees Union Is 'Very Concerned' About Being Required To Enroll In Obamacare's Health Insurance Exchanges

In the private sector, many workers are concerned about losing their employer-sponsored health insurance coverage, and being dumped into Obamacare’s subsidized insurance exchanges. Two weeks ago, representatives of three large labor unions fired off a harsh letter to Democratic leaders in Congress, complaining that Obamacare would “shatter…our hard-earned health benefits” and create “nightmare scenarios” for their members. Today, we learn that the National Treasury Employees Union—the union that includes employees of the Internal Revenue Service—is asking its members to write letters to their Congressmen, stating that they are “very concerned” about legislative efforts requiring IRS and Treasury employees to enroll in the Obamacare exchanges.

“I am a federal employee and one of your constituents,” the letter begins. “I am very concerned about legislation that has been introduced by Congressman Dave Camp to push federal employees out of the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP) and into the insurance exchanges established under the Affordable Care Act (ACA).”

Imagine how the people you intend to impose this on will feel. What a bunch of totally uninformed idiots.

IMAGINE, won’t you..? Being required to personally PARTICIPATE in the program you are given POLICE POWERS to administer...! Ponder it, will you...?

Think it over —being the SAME as those unwashed slubberdegullions gnashing their green teeth at tractor pulls and 4H events...!

Sorry, Mr. Constituent. You ain't better than nobody. There's obviously nothing special about you, in any respect or regard. If Obamacare is good enough for the taxpayer, I know how you'll agree that it's certainly good enough for you, also.

That is all.

........labor unions, IRS Union, federal legislature employees, and on and on are whining now about Obamacare being imposed on them. Who the hell did they think it was being imposed upon back when they were walking in lock-step to support it’s passage!

Probably never in the history of mankind are more people getting what they deserve than with Obamacare! Pass the popcorn please! I’m love seeing LIV’s and federal bureaucrats get what they so richly deserve!!! Pretty soon, QE3 will stop and they will all get hot checks! They voted in that too though they are generally too stupid to know it.

Karma is a very nasty dragon, and payback is a be-aitch.

O, brave new world! that we may rejoice in seeing the coming Great Equalization.

Schadenfreude seems so inadequate to describe the emotions that come unbidden.

Thousands of them have been hired to stick it to Americans through ObamaCare. They aren’t dummies. They don’t want their employer, the IRS, sticking it to them. I can understand why they want no part of the Obamacare fiasco.

From the column:

It would be a very good thing for some federal employees to eat their own cooking.

I say, chow down!

Either (a) they expected to be exempted, like other members of the DC Bigwig Club, or (b) they're not very smart.

I'd bet on (b) myself.

I think Obama should exempt the IRS.

Really.

We need just one more little straw on the back of that camel to kick things off.

Sure they are; but they will jump in with unbridled enthusiasm when it comes time to impose fines and use the government's diabolical power against the rest of us!
