Do You Smell Another Rat?

Big labor met with Obama and White House staff for over 15 hours and ended on midnight Wednesday this week. Some of the key players included: Andy Stern (SEIU), Richard Trumka (AFL-CIO), Anna Burger (Change to Win), and the leaders of teacher unions, government workers, electricians, food, and commercial workers. They all came out smiling!

If you thought the closed-door deals made by the Senate were tainted with corruption, bribes, and special favors, wait until you learn the details of this sweetheart deal. Keep in mind, this one was done by Obama for his "pals" in the labor unions - the ones who paid millions of dollars for his campaign.

You may already know that ObamaCare contains a penalty in the form of an excise tax on anyone who has a premium health insurance policy commonly referred to as a "Cadillac Policy." Well apparently, not everyone. Since the unions all have the Cadillac Policy that they negotiated for their workers, they complained that they would have to see their members pay the 40% tax! They said that was unfair.

So Obama agreed to a deal. The 40% tax is now exempt on healthcare plans that include government employees and other union members. Union employees will save an estimated $60 Billion dollars over the years involved. The rest of us will have to cough up an estimated $90 Billion dollars because we aren't so lucky to have a friend in the White House. Gee, that sounds fair.

Obama backs the Cadillac Tax because he says it will drive down costs by encouraging insurance companies to offer employers and workers a chance to buy lower cost health plans. Does he think we are THAT STUPID?

Let's not forget that the Amish are also getting a great deal. Even though they are US citizens living here, they don't even have to buy into the whole government-controlled insurance gig at all. They aren't the only ones. Remember Congress? It seems like they also get a sweetheart deal because they are exempt from having to participate in the first place! Who else gets special treatment?

This bribe came from the very top. This was Obama's bribe to the unions. The buck stops there. What were the concessions made in this particular deal? We will NEVER know.

Obama brought the corruption and subversion with him from Chicago along with his other cronies in the White House. He's not setting the example of "Change" Americans expected. ObamaCare is NOT about government healthcare. It's about power. Why ObamaCare doesn't even cover over 20 Million people. Wasn't it supposed to fix that?

Why are some individuals exempt from government healthcare? What is the criteria for deciding who's not big enough to get a deal? This is OUR GOVERNMENT! It's corrupt, starting at the top! This administration is pathetic! It sets a new LOW standard for government corruption, hubris, and nepotism.
