My understanding is this---many legacy benefit holders will be switched to a public option to save money for the unions.

I wonder if Obama will ever get the unions paid off for his win.

Why are you, or anyone for that matter, surprised at how "democracy" works in this country?

I like the "if it ain't for me, then it's thugocracy". A rhetorical question: Do you see a CEO of a company being apologetic for receiving bonuses, but you'd expect "liberals" to be so. Good luck with that and grow a pair.

Too many people whose lot in life feels economically secure turn out to be a "person of principle" all of a sudden. What a sham.

No, it seems to be a bailout of union insusurance.
Big government, big favors and big money.

It's not about the taxpayers at all; it's all about power and greed at the top.
