Apparently The Union Bosses Have Read The O'BamaCare Law And Don't Like What They See

Forbes is reporting: Labor Unions: Obamacare Will 'Shatter' Their Health Benefits, Cause 'Nightmare Scenarios'

Yup. They should have read the bill. Hero worship got them in trouble. Big trouble.  

The Wall Street Journal is also reporting: union leaders seek changes to O'BamaCare. Who wudda thought? As Ms Pelosi said: pass the bill so we can read it to find out what's in it. Apparently union leaders have finally read it and don't like what they see: TrainWreck.

The presidents of the three of the nation's biggest labor unions, who say they have been stonewalled by the White House, are asking Democratic leaders in Congress to change the new health-care law, which they say would otherwise devastate union-sponsored health-insurance plans.

Since last year, union leaders have complained that many of the law's requirements will drive up costs for union-sponsored health-care plans that are managed jointly by unions and mostly small employers, making unionized workers less competitive and potentially causing unionized employers to drop the plans that cover more than 20 million people.

To offset the expected rising costs of these "multiemployer" plans, several union groups want their lower-paid members to be able to remain on the plans while also getting access to federal insurance subsidies to be provided under the law. Their problem is that under the law, the subsidies were designed to be used by low-income workers who don't have employer coverage, as a way to help them buy private insurance. The bottom line: they want lawmakers to apply the subsidies to people in the multiemployer plans.

What a mess! And if "lower-paid" union members get this break, what about all the other "lower-paid" non-union members around the country?

Sounds like this Train Wreck is only going to get worse and worse. Bits and pieces of the bill will be delayed, and there will be so many loopholes, it will be a .... a... a... yes, I guess the Democratic Senator was correct when he said it would be a "train wreck."

It's really too bad the unions didn't read the law before it was passed. It would have been nice had a few US Senators done likewise (read the bill before voting on it).

Cue up Connie Francis.
