The argument goes, unions bargained for improved health care coverage, instead of wage increases. Taxing their coverages would mean they would be paying an overall higher percentage than other working stiffs. Labor contracts generally run 5 years, meaning the present ones will have expired, by 2017. Then there is politics. The unions bargained with their employers for wages and benefits not with the government. Taxes are about a shared burden. Now you are trying to tell me that union members should be excluded from paying their fair share of the tax burden because they negotiated their wages and benefits with their employers. I will tell you now that I, as a non-union member, bargain with my employer each year for wages and benefits, shouldn't I be granted the same exemption the unions are being granted? Did your company support Obama with millions in campaign time and money?? I, flajim, am in charge of that. |

The tax on so-called "Cadillac" health plans is opposed by organized labor, and could be a big reason why union rank-and-file members in Massachusetts vote for Scott Brown. actually it excludes union members. Why are union members excluded until 2017? Any rational reason except politics? of course, there are no uniion members in the US so the question is irrelevant |
