This won't derail passage - but it certainly will lead to greater loss of support among Democrats

Wait until the union members find out that their “leaders” have traded in their Cadillac for and old, used Yugo.

Hey there Ron C. LTNS! Good to see you.
Good Post.
Maybe (doubtful though) 0bama can manage to turn the unions against him.

If Brown wins in Massachusetts, fire up the popcorn machine and watch the congressional rats dive off the USS Obama.

The disconnect between skilled laborers at the bottom and union leadership at the top is quite drastic.

You asked for him. You supported him. You voted for him. Shut yer pie hole.

The unions are finally figuring out that the Rats want to make EVERYONE poor.

I call Bullshit on the complaints of the Union thugs!

They are putting on a show for their rank and file and they are HAPPY to see this catastrophe of health care take place!

All the D-majority Congress has to do is tuck a waiver somewhere into the ping pong bill.

Marxist Obama will, I suspect, "wee-wee" on each and every one of his apparent marks who let themselves be intimidated by him or his "fellow travelers" who made apparent "deals" with him.

It is the way of the malignant narcissist.

The amazing thing is that none saw (or will see) it coming.

Just wait until they define what “Cadillac” is. If you need to go to the doctor, you’re better off getting a tan, putting on your paint-spattered home project clothes, not showering that day, and walking in to the local hospital telling them that you’re Jose Jimenez and you know very little English. “No green card.”

If this keeps up much longer, the Union bosses may find it's more efficient and cheaper to buy off corrupt Republicans they can find in Congress ...

These commie-pig-scum can dish it out, but they can’t take it.

Cowardly, hypocritical Bolshevik union pr**ks!

I believe that the way that this tax is collected is the biggest problem: this is going to be a 40% tax on large premiums received by insurance companies --- yes, the Democrats have found a new nadir for "stupidest way to tax anything."

Putting a flat excise tax on big premiums but not on small ones: So what does any sensible insurance company do? Well, first, since they can totally avoid this excise tax on large premiums by not charging them, many insurance companies will simply elect not to offer health insurance that has large premiums. No muss, no fuss, all of the excise problems are neatly avoided.

If an insurer does offer a large premium plan, then it's going to have recover that 40% tax hit, which means that it has to pass the total cost of the tax, including all administrative costs, onto the consumer. That means by the time it hits the consumer's pocketbook, a $30,000 per year premium will leap to at least somewhere around $45,000 per year --- that is, a $2,500 per month premium shoots up to nearly $4,000 per month. That should really be an economic stimulus, especially considering that that tax will be collected for three years before any benefits will be paid out by the federal government.

I believe it was Rush yesterday who said that the unions want to get the health care off their backs and onto the tax payer. Union leaders will twist and shout about the Cadillac penalty but use it to turn all union health care over to the government. Then they get all that money for themselves.

The trade will be that they end up supporting the health care bill and The Messiah gives them Card Check in trade. Once they get Card Check then every business in the country will become unionized. The money will start rolling into the union's pockets and they won't have to be spending any of it on pesky health care programs, except their own of course.
