What . . . Not happy because an illegal-alien, half-white, half-”black”, anti-Christian, anti-American had his puppet handlers create a totally un-understandable piece of garbage called ACA? Huh?

“Unite Here, which calls itself “the first international union to endorse Barack Obama for President in 2008,” says it supports the intent of the Affordable Care Act”

Take-away quote from the article:

... The average stock price of the big for-profit health insurers doubled, their top executives were paid more than a half-billion dollars in cash and stock options.
