"One reason the public so distrusts the health care plan being
considered by Congress is that so many troublesome details keep
bubbling out of the massive legislation.

The latest example is the $10 billion taxpayers will be asked to shell
out to prop up the United Auto Workers’ retiree health insurance
program. …

In effect, it would ask every taxpayer, regardless of whether they’ll
have health insurance coverage themselves after they retire — and most
won’t — to chip in to maintain the UAW’s coverage, which even after
the union’s givebacks is still better than what the average American
worker receives."

This is very important people. Union health plans will be exempt from
the limitations of ObamaCare, allowing unions to operate as insurers
while forcing everyone else into government-approved plans in
“exchanges”. Instead of having the union pay for their own plans,
taxpayers will subsidize them, while getting less themselves.

And let's not forget that Federal/State employees and of course our
Congress Critters will also be exempt from Obamacare.

Obscene, but Bush wasted $78 billion in Iraq.


That's hardly fair, poking fun at the liberal's favorite red herring
argument.


So far, the one responder didn't get it.


No doubt. He/she responded as though it went straight to the
point.
