  • Excellent points, especially regarding the tax on union health plans. Those H&W caps were raised at the direct cost of much of the employees' cost of living increases for the last several years. Thanks to skyrocketing premiums, wages have been virtually flat for people I know. Let's recoup that revenue from the insurance companies who have already charged it to the working taxpayers via premium increases.

  • Absolutely. Terrific video. Terrific issue. The same people who didn't want Medicare now think the Obama plan is the end of the human species. Hell, the Obama plan is a pale shadow of what a robust health plan would be, but it beats the present system.

  • Great video...spot on! I'm glad unions are fighting for working people like me! We'd be much worse off without them.
