White House: No Subsidies For Union Health Plans

[mountain grammy]

8. So a union employee on the group plan who's making a decent wage

and is happy with his/her insurance doesn't get the subsidy someone making about the same income would get on the exchange? But the union, the employer, is subsidizing the employee while the employee pays a share, just like someone at 400% poverty level will pay a share. Idea is affordable care, not free care, and it worked ok until insurance companies decided no one would ever touch them and started gouging and killing people while amassing enormous wealth into a few hands. What other industry gets away with raising rates while cutting benefits and denying life saving care to their customers.
Insurance companies are out of control and all Obamacare does is regulate them.

Personally, I believe Medicare for all is the only sane answer.
