Wall Street put out an article on how some unions officials are becoming wary of Obamacare. Apparently, unions have worked for over fifty years figthing for health insurance benefits for their employees. Now they are seeing many of the companies looking at dropping health care in the future. The real life implementation of what they thought would be a good deal for them appear be turning out to be a mistake. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887323854904578260313912570432.html http://www.californiahealthline.org/articles/2013/1/31/some-labor-groups-that-backed-aca-now-voicing-concern-about-the-law.aspx Right now the unions are trying to get lower paid union employees to be eligible for government assistance. We now have one of the authors of Obamacare stating the implementation of Obamacare is turning into a train wreck. http://www.politico.com/story/2013/04/max-baucus-worried-about-health-law-train-wreck-90215.html#ixzz2QkPTti13

I just dont understand all this. Why have something like Obama care, when so many seem to not want it?

They say you can't fix stupid. Anyone who truly gave the plan as it was presented any thought at all would see what a boondoggle it would be once passed and implemented. I guess they thought as long as it benefited them, the rest of the people didn't matter--that, or they're just stupid and don't have the first inkling of how financial matters work. They must think the government has a money tree in back of the WH. The final red alert should have sounded the moment the Speaker said they'll have to pass the bill so we can find out what's in it--a bill that needs to be hidden from the people until it is passed is sure to be full of corruption, paybacks, kickbacks, and taxes for those who can least afford it. And the corrupt who$es that accepted bribes for their votes should be put in stocks on the steps of Congress and subjected to the worst kind of scorn.
