It stinks, but it looks like unions are getting their rich benefits plans exempted from the proposed tax on higher-dollar health insurance plans. Even so, lefty orgs like the Campaign for America's Future are messaging against a "middle-class health tax" -- not exactly what Dems want their people to be saying! The fact is, it stinks to high heaven. More corruption, leaving average taxpayers holding the bag.
National Journal's CongressDaily reported:
Unions Tentatively Strike A Deal Regarding Excise Tax
Unions tentatively struck a deal Tuesday to exempt collectively bargained healthcare plans from a tax on high-cost plans expected to be used to help raise revenue for the healthcare overhaul.
AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka, Service Employees International Union President Andy Stern and United Auto Workers President Ron Gettelfinger met with House Speaker Pelosi Tuesday, a day after labor leaders met at the White House to express their opposition to the excise tax.
