obamacare will pay back unions big time

The "health care reform" label is just a cover for where the POTUS really wants to take this country.
The provisions that are tucked into all these bills touch everything from labor to individual wealth. All are "ways to pay" for covering the masses.

There is a provision to change the way that the MSA accounts are "handled". Which means they will regulate them so much that the people will not be able to keep them and be forced to go into the gov plans.

From the WSJ article:

The Senate version opens the door to implement forced unionization schemes pursued by former Govs. Rod Blagojevich of Illinois in 2005 and Gray Davis of California in 1999. Both men repaid tremendous political debts to Andy Stern and his Service Employees International Union (SEIU) by reclassifying state-reimbursed in-home health-care (and child-care) contractors as state employees—and forcing them to pay union dues.

Direct quote from SEIU Michigan bylaws.

We must organize unorganized Healthcare workers, extending to them the gains of unionism while securing control over the Healthcare industry.

Also: (from Fed, '09.)

Tragically, no one from either party is objecting to the health provisions slipped in (stimulus bill) without discussion.

These provisions reflect the handiwork of Tom Daschle, until recently the nominee to head the Health and Human Services Department.

But the bill goes further. One new bureaucracy, the National Coordinator of Health Information Technology, will monitor treatments to make sure your doctor is doing what the federal government deems appropriate and cost effective.

Hospitals and doctors that are not “meaningful users” of the new system will face penalties.

“Meaningful user” isn’t defined in the bill. That will be left to the HHS secretary, who will be empowered to impose “more stringent measures of meaningful use over time”

In his book, Daschle proposed an appointed body with vast powers to make the “tough” decisions elected politicians won’t make.

The stimulus bill does that, and calls it the Federal Coordinating Council for Comparative Effectiveness Research (190-192).

The goal, Daschle’s book explained, is to slow the development and use of new medications and technologies because they are driving up costs.

(and these are the people who propose a 'humane' new world and call themselves 'progressive.)

...........he chastises Americans for expecting too much from the health-care system.

Daschle says health-care reform “will not be pain free.” Seniors should be more accepting of the conditions that come with age instead of treating them.

Medicare now pays for treatments deemed safe and effective. The stimulus bill would change that and apply a cost- effectiveness standard set by the Federal Council.

The Federal Council is modeled after a U.K. board discussed in Daschle’s book. This board approves or rejects treatments using a formula that divides the cost of the treatment by the number of years the patient is likely to benefit.

Hiding health legislation in a stimulus bill is intentional.

The health-care industry is the largest employer in the U.S. It produces almost 17 percent of the nation’s gross domestic product. Yet the bill treats health care the way European governments do: as a cost problem instead of a growth industry. Imagine limiting growth and innovation in the electronics or auto industry ....................

unions kill a lot of companies. that's why the left is so scared of right to work states and why Obama and company wouldn't let GM enter into a traditional bankruptcy that could possibly have resulted in a relocation to a state like Louisiana.

the unofficial union motto is, and always will be, "That's not my job."
