Hospitals / Doctors now refusing to take Medicare

[Excaliber]

Many Union and Government workers are up in arms about the Health Care reform for one simple reason, THEY are a target for more taxes. NOT the "average working man".

These two groups, Union and Government workers, are OFTEN PORTRAYED as the MIDDLE CLASS and the right wing is all upset these "poor" workers will bear the brunt of the tax. How? These two groups, especially auto marnufacturers, have the BEST Health Care plans money can buy! About $23,000 a year in health benefits ALONE. These are the so called "Cadillac Plans" the Government want's to tax. Essentially taxing the "benefit".

Every state (and that's a lot) that I've ever lived and worked in had one thing in common when it came to job's. It was universally recognized that if you could land a Union or Government job that was the cat's meow. You were in high cotton. You had made it.

Sorry, Union class and Government workers with Cadillac Health Care plans don't have a freakin' clue what the middle class life is like. Give up your excellent health care and start working for $13 an hour and you might get a clue! Until then, screw 'em, tax the hell out of that Cadillac plan, I don't care where you work or who provides it. It's so far beyond the reach of the average working man it's nothing but a dream to them.
