We have been strong supporters of the notion that all Americans should have access to quality, affordable health care. We have also been strong supporters of you. In campaign after campaign we have put boots on the ground, gone door-to-door to get out the vote, run phone banks and raised money to secure this vision.

Now this vision has come back to haunt us.

Well there is some justice in the world.

You thought the Democrats were your friends? Guess again.

Second, millions of Americans are covered by non-profit health insurance plans like the ones in which most of our members participate. These non-profit plans are governed jointly by unions and companies under the Taft-Hartley Act.

Non-profit! What a bald faced lie!

There are plenty of profits. They go to the Unions and the corporations that administer the plans. The only differences between the Union Plans and the for profit plans is that the Union members typically pay more for their plans and get less service for it. I know because I work for a company that has both. The non-union employees are much happier with their health care insurance than those who get the union insurance while paying less.

Socialism hurts the very people it is supposed to help. I speak to very few union guys, and I know a lot of hardcores, who think that their kids will be in a union. It’s over.
