In the \u201cHA HA! We told you so!\u201d department, all those unions that were pushing to get Obamacare are now having second thoughts. As expected, their members are going to lose those nice, gold plated health plans they\u2019ve grown rather attached to.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"union-thug-300x207\"<\/a>As you may recall, wen Obama, Pelosi and Reid were pulling their \u201cWe have to pass the bill to know what\u2019s in the bill\u201d crap, the Unions were out their going RA RA! Pass The Bill!\u201d all the while looking to get themselves exempted from it. Well, now that they are finally looking into what Obamacare entails, they aren\u2019t to happy with it anymore. Here are afew details from Yahoo News:<\/p>\n

When President Barack Obama pushed his health care overhaul plan through Congress, he counted labor unions among his strongest supporters.<\/p>\n

But some unions leaders have grown frustrated and angry about what they say are unexpected consequences of the new law \u2014 problems that they say could jeopardize the health benefits offered to millions of their members.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Unexpected? Bovine Droppings! I knew what this would do as did more then half the country. This is why Obamacare is and has always been so unpopular. This was never about improving healthcare, it was about centralizing power in the hands of Washington, specifically the Democrats.<\/p>\n

The issue could create a political headache next year for Democrats facing re-election if disgruntled union members believe the Obama administration and Congress aren’t working to fix the problem.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Fixing the problem? Obama, Pelosi and Reid don\u2019t think there IS a problem.<\/p>\n

“It makes an untruth out of what the president said, that if you like your insurance, you could keep it,” said Joe Hansen, president of the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union. “That is not going to be true for millions of workers now.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Obama<\/a><\/p>\n

Untruth? The word you are looking for is flat out lie. The whole plan was to ram this through and then nationalize the healthcare system. So, what has started turning the Unions against Obamacare?<\/p>\n

The union plans were already more costly to run than traditional single-employer health plans. The Affordable Care Act has added to that cost \u2014 for the unions’ and other plans \u2014 by requiring health plans to cover dependents up to age 26, eliminate annual or lifetime coverage limits and extend coverage to people with pre-existing conditions.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And what do you think id going to happen when that bill lands on a company\u2019s desk?<\/p>\n

“We’re concerned that employers will be increasingly tempted to drop coverage through our plans and let our members fend for themselves on the health exchanges,” said David Treanor, director of health care initiatives at the Operating Engineers union.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

DING! DING! DING! DING! We have a winner!! Businesses are already starting to end their healthcare plans and are also cutting hours for their employees so they won\u2019t hit the level that requires them to pay for health insurance. It\u2019s turning out to be cheaper for companies to close down their current plans and pay the fine then it will be to provide insurance.<\/p>\n

Katie Mahoney, executive director of health policy at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, said employers were concerned about possible increases in health care costs and would do what was needed to keep their businesses running and retain worker talent. The Chamber has not taken a position on the union concerns, but Mahoney said it was highly unlikely that the administration would consider subsidies for workers in the union plans.<\/p>\n

“They are not going to offset the expense of added mandates under the health care law, which employers and unions are going to pay for,” Mahoney said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In all probability, almost all companies are going to close down their health plans as fast as they can. As to those subsidies? They aren\u2019t going to happen. What will happen is people will be told they have to spend thousands of dollars they don\u2019t have to buy insurance the Internal Revenue Service determines you should have.<\/p>\n

Oh, you can\u2019t afford it? To bad. Pay up! Obamacare, if it goes into effect, will implode within 5 years at best. There is no money to pay for it, it, like every other socialist scheme, will fail, (Just as it has in all the other countries it\u2019s been tried), and in the end will close down. Of course, by that time, a number of doctors will have called it quits, the Insurance companies will be out of businesses, (At least the health insurance business), and tens of thousands of people will have died who would be alive under the old system.<\/p>\n

\"Obamacare,<\/a><\/p>\n

Thanks a lot you union thugs. As Detective John McClane said in the first Die Hard movie, right after he tossed a body onto a police care to get their attention, \u201cWelcome to the party pal!\u201d Is it any wonder unions are dying out? Not only are they useless when it comes to helping the labor force, more and more they are showing themselves to be detrimental to the rank and file workers.<\/p>\n

Serves them right.<\/p>\n
