Yes, the ones crying the loudest are the ones with their hands out – lol, hypocrites to the max.
Healthcare: About 2,000 employers qualify for federal subsidies for retiree healthcare - latimes.com
Businesses, labor unions and state and local governments are seeking aid under a $5-billion program in the new healthcare law that encourages employers to keep insurance plans for retirees ages 55 to 64.
Reporting from Washington —
The Obama administration announced Tuesday that nearly 2,000 businesses, labor unions and state and local governments have qualified for federal subsidies to offset the cost of providing their retirees and dependents with medical insurance, another early benefit of the new healthcare law.
Among those taking advantage of the program are more than half of the nation's Fortune 500 companies, many major unions and governmental bodies in every state, according to the administration.
Several states that are suing to overturn the healthcare law are among those that plan to seek the aid, including Alaska, Arizona, Idaho, Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan, Nebraska and Nevada. All but Louisiana are represented by Republicans in the lawsuit challenging the law.
