Waaaaaaaaa. These same clowns were singing a different tune when this garbage was thrown onto all of us. Now they want to be "taken care of" by dear leader. What a crock.
“The ACA threatens the viability of multi-employer health plans in four ways: 1) the high employee threshold of the employer mandate 2) the re-insurance fee, 3) the definition of qualified health plans, and 4) the lack of multi-employer specific administrative guidance. We believe it may be impossible to reverse the damage done to these plans if these issues are not resolved. The IBEW cannot afford to sit on the sidelines at the ACA threatens to harm our members by dismantling multi-employer plans,” the IBEW explains in a statement released Thursday.
UFCW president Joseph Hansen called on Obama in May to help his members keep their original coverage by extending tax subsidies to the plans.
“The ACA offers a subsidy to lower-income individuals and families so they can afford to purchase this insurance. As many of our members fall into this category, we believe the subsidy can and should apply to nonprofit plans. All we want is equality — where our plans are treated the same as for-profit insurers,” Hansen wrote in an op-ed at The Hill.
In April, United Union of Roofers, Waterproofers and Allied Workers called for “for repeal or complete reform of the Affordable Care Act” in order to protect such plans.
Yet they stood next to Obama and all those town hall sessions voicing their approval.
Why it was the next best thing to sliced bread.
They should have fought for the exclusion Congress gave themselves rather than settle for that 2 year waiver.
What were they thinking..that Obamacare would have been repealed within 2 years ?
And about everything we voiced that was wrong with all this madness is now coming to fruition.
and many democrats are starting to acknowledge that us conservatives were right.
