How Will Obama Buy Off Labor Unions

President Obama is meeting behind closed doors again with the Union leaders who are opposed to his tax on so called “Cadillac” health plans. In the recent exposure of vote buy offs in the Senate for the Senate’s version of the Healthcare Reform Bill, one has to wonder what will be promised to Union Leaders in exchange for their support of the tax. The tax puts a 40% penalty on plans that the Government feels are too good for the American people in order to pay for Healthcare Insurance for the  poor and uninsured. President Obama promised that we should have the option of the same Healthcare the he and Congress receives. We didn’t know that he would tax us if we got it. Of course, Congress and the President have conveniently exempted themselves from this tax. Harry Reid and Barack Obama have both said that this tax is to try to force companies to offer less expensive insurance so that people will spend less on healthcare. This is a direct slap in the face to anyone who has negotiated a good healthcare plan with their employer. And to think the Democrats and Obama said they didn’t want to limit care. By taxing people’s plans that the Government deems “too good”, is a direct contradiction to what was promised. If this is such a good idea then why is Congress and the President Exempt from the law?
