"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." http://www.detnews.com/article/20090...-care-benefits 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. With the amount of money the health care industry is paying to defeat "Obamacare," it's interesting that you attempt to turn the tables, but that's how it works. We pay more and get less, and we should keep it that way! Wanna argue about what we get for what we pay? Look up life expectancy in different systems and get back to me. |
