ORIGINAL: popeye1250 Oh sure, the Dems have got 70 % of the voters pissed off now with this healthcare bill and they *no longer have the Unions on their side* because they'll be taxed 40% on their (Cadillac) healthcare plans and they're even considering something as dumb as amnesty for illegal aliens that *no-one* wants? They won't get to November. I am *really* not looking forward to talking to my two brothers who belong to Unions anytime soon! I just know I'm going to have to hold the phone away from my ear.........oh shit, one of them just e-mailed me!!! The Firefighter. Your two brothers,who I assume from past posts, are union members they have absolutely no...let me repeat that no fear of being taxed under the "Cadillac plan" tax....Cadillac plans refers to the high end coverage received by CEO"s and such...you are too funny Popeye....most unions,which have been fighting a losing battle to protect their health care plans are behind this. Just got off the phone. Mike, the Unions have better plans than some CEOs do. "Cadillac plan" refers to a very good plan. The Unions have some of the best healthcare plans in the country! I didn't ask my brother how much he pays or his deductable as he told me to call him tommorow night at the station. I'll ask him tommorow night. But he said the guys are *pissed* and also the police unions and the municipal unions! Things aren't looking too good for Rep. Eddy Markey D. 7th Mass! They're going to "go after him in November!" And I still haven't talked to the Teamster brother yet. I wouldn't be surprised if some congressional district offices went up at 2 or 3 in the morning. Those new fire engines have a lot of computer chips in them these days and they're always acting up it seems. Wouldn't that be funny, one brother lighting them up and another trying to put them out! lol Mike, as I've said on here many times, *I believe that all Americans should be covered under some type of healthcare plan!* But this is probably not that plan. It will include cuts in Medicare right? I've been listening to talk radio for the last two days and there is a LOT of ANGER out there about this! That's all I'm saying. Now, on top of that anger if Obama tries an "amnesty" for illegal aliens against the wishes of the American People who knows what will happen? I think it would be such a safe bet that Obama would then lose the House in Nov if he tried it that the bookmaker's in Vegas would be saying, "No Action!" The thing about politics is that you want The People *with* you, not *against* you! Cant imagine why your firefighter brother is pissed since they are exempt. And who will be taxed? Last i heard it would be the insurers... the insurance companies. ETA - not exempt. he has a higher monetary threshold than the rest. But i did see somewhere where they talked about Unions being exempt until 2018, while everyone else gets hit 2013.
