Why are union members excluded until 2017? Any rational reason except
politics?

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??
