The Senate health care bill, which Martha Coakley supports, contains a
massive tax on the middle class which will hit union members

opposed by organized labor, and could be a big reason why union
rank-and-file members in Massachusetts vote for Scott Brown.

It is all get eveninsm
Union members are not the only ones with good reasonable health care
plans. Premiums are paid for the extent of the coverage.
Nobody gets a freebie. It is part of their pay or compensation.
So the writers of this legislation want to cut their compensation by
making them pay a sin tax because they have good health coverage.
How many thousands in a pay cut/ tax will mollify the socialists??
If they can't make their mortgage payments because, of it will that
satisfy them?
They are not talking about five dollars a week.
Their Constituents will get free health care and the ones with
fair/good/excellent health care will pay a lot more or they can give up
the Insurance and obtain lesser coverage and pay for it and pay a lot
more for inferior coverage. Either way people with whatever they deem
Cadillac Coverage will suffer. The ultra Rich or whatever they want to
target won't be affected, in the least.
Many most with formerly good coverage are having it taken away by the
ultra Rich of Wall Street. They are gutting their American Employees
compensation/health care to fill their Swiss bank accounts.
