    Labor unions turn on ObamaCare, fear losing coverage

    WASHINGTON – When President Obama
    pushed his health care overhaul plan through Congress, he counted labor
    unions among his strongest supporters.

    But some unions leaders have grown frustrated and angry about what
    they say are unexpected consequences of the new law -- problems that
    they say could jeopardize the health benefits offered to millions of
    their members.

    Will ObamaCare help lower the budgets the communities in NYS? Has anyone ever compiled a table of Government employee health care cost for all the towns in Erie County along with our school districts?

    And then chart out the average cost increase for the next 10 years so we can see what the Net Tax Payers are on the hook for?

    Until healthcare costs are lowered the cost of this "benefit" will cripple our economy. To be honest, I wouldn't carry health insurance but I need to protect my house and assets.

    Why has it taken labor so long to see the faults with ObamaCare?
    Labor had a blind eye to NAFTA and still supports the politicians that voted for it.
    Labor was against the sequester and according to the politicians in power our economy has improved.
    That is why I pay no attention to the letters I receive from labor. Urging me to support politicians that support Labor's view.
    Russia didn't make me vote for Trump, Hillary did.

    Labor saw them, they just counted on being exempted...

    Labor has been a PAC "Funding Tool" for far too long.

    Some Leaders routinely misinform/mislead or ignore the negative long term affects of legislative actions they help promote. Their prime concern is "Buying Access" to the "Political Game".

    Congress thought they would be exempted from Obamacare - Labor Unions figured they'd keep there tax funded "Benefits" - Even some religious groups claim exemptions -

    As with many "New Changes" in our Government - they turn out to be "Vote Getters" - then when the factual ramifications are exposed years afterward - the inequities emerge.
