(B) FUNDING.—There are hereby appropriated to the Trust Fund, out of any moneys in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, an amount requested by the Secretary as necessary to carry out this section, except that the total of all such amounts requested shall not exceed $10,000,000,000.
Anyone with the intelligence 1/2 click above a mud puddle will know that this is a payback for votes and Union support during TownHall meeting.
Yes, $10 BILLION!

CW had it right. The statement you posted in your other thread did not exist in the bill. Read the actual bill instead of the tin-foil hat blogs.
And guess what - ANY company plan is eligible.
You have to be:
Over 55
Retired
Not eligible for SS.
It may apply to retired union people, but it also applies to retired rich executives, and anybody else who meets the criteria.
The goal (if you actually read the rest of the section) is to use up to $10B to lessen the out-of-pocket expenses by subsidising medical plans.
There are other problems with this portion of the bill, but clearly the tin-foil hat types you routinely plagiarise don't understand what they are.
Are you so afraid of the real bill that you need to post made up BS to make it look worse?
