"If you're trying to change minds and influence people it's probably not a good idea to say that virtually all elected Democrats are liars, but what the hell."
In ”Shadowbosses:
Government Unions Control America and Rob Taxpayers Blind,” Mallory
Factor describes a December 9, 2008 memo from Service Employees
International Union (SEIU) Healthcare president Dennis Rivera to the
Obama-Biden transition team.
That memo outlined a legislative proposal calling for “increasing the
capacity of the health care workforce” as part of a larger health care
reform initiative.
The SEIU and the Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees
(AFSCME), Factor writes, later coordinated with other public-sector
unions to spend “literally hundreds of millions of dollars promoting
Obamacare.”
A booklet published by SEIU during the 2008 election season called for
“building a new American health care system,” in part by “organizing
workers.” The publication argued for outcomes nearly identical to those
later adopted in the Obamacare legislation
How
does it work? Simple. The number of health care
workers receiving
payment for their services through government programs will skyrocket,
effectively making them government employees in the eyes of the
beholder..
“The government employee unions can then enlist pro-union state
governments to treat these health care workers as ‘government
employees and unionize them just like
they unionized the care providers” themselves.
“For every million additional health care workers unionized in the 27
non-right-to-work states the unions stand to earn $1
billion in dues.” [Full]
The
SEIU make Hoffa's Teamster union look like the Sisters of Providence.
I keep wondering, will the unions have a seperate health care system or will they be subjected to guvmint care like the rest of us? And when guvmint is picking up the tab, will they let lawyers continue to make millions sueing doctors? Or will those two groups find out what Lenin meant when he coined the term 'useful idiot'? Tim
Tim, the unions will have a Cadillac plan as long as they are allowed to collectively bargain for benefits. Scott Walker took that power away from the public unions and saved school districts enough money so that they were able to turn their deficits into surpluses even after spending additional funds for more teachers in the classrooms.
