Union Letter: Obamacare Will ‘Destroy The Very Health and Wellbeing’ of Workers

[Jackpine Radical]

152. No other country has parasitic insurance companies gouging obscene profits

from the money spent on health care.

What the unions are pointing out is really a symptom of the Heritagefoundation/Romneycare that Obama stuck us with.

Sure, maybe that's the only thing he could get through without having the insurance companies fight him. Harry & Louise would no doubt have been resurrected as part of a billion dollar anti-Single Payer campaign as the insurance companies fought like cornered rats to keep their parasitic grip on the public.

And I will concede that there are many aspects of the existing plan, such as eliminating prior-condition exclusions, allowing those under 26 to stay on their parents' plans, etc.

Nevertheless, the plan remains highly problematic, as the unions are pointing out, and as you might expect from a plan modeled on a Heritage Foundation proposal & first enacted by Gubner Romney.

And, by the way, it will spell the extinction of the small independent provider. Only larger groups & companies will have the financial resources to meet all the very expensive technical requirements, such as the complex information systems being demanded of them as a condition of participation in Obamacare.
