Obamacare: 28 food service unions are granted healthcare waivers
The list of organizations which the Obama regime is granting healthcare reform law waivers to is turning into a who’s who list of Obama supporters. We have already learned that several teachers unions as well as several chapters of the SEIU have been granted healthcare reform law waivers which allow them to cap off how much insurance plans will pay off on a yearly basis. What do the teachers unions and the SEIU have in common? They just happen to contribute to the campaigns of Democrats in general and Barack Obama in particular.
And according to this article 28 chapters of the United Food and Commercial Workers Union are also among the 700+ organizations which have asked for and been granted healthcare reform law waivers. And, much like the teachers unions and the SEIU, would you care to guess who is a main beneficiary of campaign contributions by the UFCW? None other than Barack Obama–and other Democrats as well; you are not really surprised by that are you?
The UFCW’s political action committee spent $673,309 in independent expenditures promoting the election of Barack Obama in 2008.
That PAC–the United Food & Commercial Workers International Union Active Ballot Club–also contributed $1.8 million to Democratic federal candidates in 2008 and $1.7 million to Democratic congressional candidates in 2010.
Barack Obama has been kowtowing to unions since the beginning of the healthcare reform debate, promising to exempt union offered healthcare plans from the “Cadillac plan” tax while at the same time taxing the very same “Cadillac plans” for non-union employees and this seems like nothing more than another attempt at placating what is probably the Democrats’ biggest special interest group.
It now appears likely that the House will investigate all of these healthcare waivers and I think that on the surface it appears as if Barack Obama is engaged in a quid pro quo with these special interest groups–if you have donated to Barack Obama and have a big enough lobby there is a very good chance that you will not be subjected to the same healthcare reform law requirements that all others must follow and I think that it is about time that this matter is looked into.

I see a judge in Florida struck down the entire law. Let’s hope the Supreme Court, who are NOT the finest judges in the land, have enough sense to make all the waivers a moot point.

I hope so also, we have to hope that Obama doesn’t get one more nominee before this makes it to the Supreme Court.

This is criminal! If this Socialized Health Care plan is going to be enforced for one it should be enforced for all. You knew this was a load of fertilizer as soon as we learned our “Elected Officials” were exempted.

They are engaging in typical liberal activity. They don’t see the need to live by the same rules as the rest of us.

I can only hope this reaches critical mass at some point and it gets some headline attention. Any Republicans out there? We should be beating on this full time. We had the shooting, now Egypt.. always something that requires full time attention it seems by the media. Meanwhile there were hearings on Obamcare and not a peep in the media about it.

The Republicans need to move forward on this and not let the lack of media attention distract them because the media will always find something more interesting to cover.

I really haven’t heard much although there are rumors that the Congress is going to investigate the waivers.
