Not only are the unions who shilled for Obamacare having second thoughts about the dreadful law, they’re looking for subsidies for their members. They don’t like it so much now that their exemptions are going away.
Union leaders say many of the law’s requirements will drive up the costs for their health-care plans and make unionized workers less competitive. Among other things, the law eliminates the caps on medical benefits and prescription drugs used as cost-containment measures in many health-care plans. It also allows children to stay on their parents’ plans until they turn 26.
To offset that, the nation’s largest labor groups want their lower-paid members to be able to get federal insurance subsidies while remaining on their plans. In the law, these subsidies were designed only for low-income workers without employer coverage as a way to help them buy private insurance.
In early talks, the Obama administration dismissed the idea of applying the subsidies to people in union-sponsored plans, according to officials from the trade group, the National Coordinating Committee for Multiemployer Plans, that represents these insurance plans. Contacted for this article, Obama administration officials said the issue is subject to regulations still being written. (Read More)
But wait – didn’t Nancy Pelosi say that after they passed it we’d know what was in it? It’s been years and they’re still making up the rules as they go along.

One reaps what one sows. Unions that pushed Obamacare are now being screwed because Obama, like the Clintons, use people to stay in power. Once the power hungry are there, their “friends” are thrown under the proverbial bus.

The exemptions were corrupt from the beginning. If Obamacare was really such a good idea, why did some people need to be exempt from its requirements? Hmmm? Now that it’s going to cost them money, rational decision making suddenly begins. If we had a party in Washington that represented us, these consequences would have been obvious while the law was being considered.

If only legislators were made to enter into the Obamacare labyrinth would this not even exist.
The Ruling Class has again exempted itself from this. I bet a Constitutional Amendment prohibiting this bigotry would pass in a heartbeat.

Perhaps it’s their new plan to grow union enrollment to help fill their coffers?
