Unions Mad, House And Senate At Odds

From all outward appearances the socialist Democrats may be imploding over Obamacare.  The unions are mad about the Cadillac health care tax.  Most union members under the Senate plan will pay a 40% tax on their health care coverage.  Socialist Barack Hussein Obama favors the Cadillac tax.  The House and the Senate are at odds over several provisions in their separate bills.

Nancy Pelosi is not happy about many issues involving Obamacare socialized health care. A reporter said, "C-SPAN wrote a letter, Mr. Lamb, to you guys to have this process be transparent regardless of conference committees.  Right now it's being done with a ping-pong.  Any response to that?

Pelosi responded sarcastically, “Really?  Well, (laughing) There are a number of things that he was for on the campaign trail. (laughter) What I will say that there has never been a more open process for any legislation in anyone who serves here's experience.”

Late Wednesday, Obama and senior Democrats emerged from marathon health care talks with a declaration that they had made tough gains — but no deal just yet. The same group of leaders was to meet again at the White House on Thursday, pressing for the framework of an agreement within days.

House Democratic leaders are pushing for more generous subsidies to help make health insurance affordable to a greater number of middle-class households, as well as other concessions.

To help pay for that, Democrats want health care providers to bear more of the cost, said lobbyists speaking on condition of anonymity because conversations within the industry were confidential. One said Democratic proposals include adding $10 billion to the $80 billion over 10 years that the drug industry had agreed to contribute, and raising the $20 billion in Senate-approved fees imposed on medical device makers by $10 billion.

Susan Feeney, spokeswoman for the American Health Care Association, said Wednesday that White House and Senate officials recently have asked the nursing home industry to agree to additional concessions.
"We're getting close," House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., said late Wednesday.

Hoyer and others said Wednesday's talks ranged over numerous areas of disagreement. A key point was Obama's demand for a tax on high-cost insurance plans, a proposal designed to slow the rise in health care costs. Several union leaders were also at the White House during the day, although it was not clear whether they met with lawmakers.

Obama is talking to unions to work out another bribe.  This one would be any health insurance plan in a union contract negotiated before 2013 would be exempt. 

This isn’t a health care reform bill.  This is a bribe bill to get votes and acceptance.  In the end Obamacare would not increase health care.  Obamacare would not reduce costs.  It can’t it has to pay for all the bribes in the bill.  It doesn’t really cover nearly as many as they say.  All it does is break the bank as far as costs and gives government unlimited control of your health care.
