300,000-Member Union Drops Bombshell Obamacare Report

[BREITBART] The 300,000-member union that was the first to endorse then-Senator Barack Obama
We're gonna punish our enemies and we're gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us...
has released a devastating Obamacare
... aka the Affordable Care Act, an ineptly designed and worse executed piece of legislation designed to bring 17 percent of the U.S. economy under the direct control of the government. The previous iteration, known as Hillarycare, was laughed out of Washington. This stinker was passed on a party-line vote without being read...
report that says Obama's controversial healthcare program will slash worker wages by up to $5 an hour, reduce worker hours, and exacerbate income inequality.

The report by Unite Here--a North American labor union that represents workers in the hotel, gaming, food service, manufacturing, textile, distribution, laundry, and airport industries--is titled: "The Irony of Obamacare: Making Inequality Worse."

"Ironically, the Administration's own signature healthcare victory poses one of the most immediate challenges to redressing inequality," states the 12-page report. "We take seriously the promise that 'if you like your health plan, you can keep it. Period.' UNITE HERE members like their health plans."

The report features first-person testimonials and photos of union members describing how Obamacare is personally hurting them and their families--the same kinds of stories that Majority Senator

Harry Reid
... the charismatic senator-for-life from Nevada, currently majority leader ...
said are "all untrue" and that progressive New York Times
...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...
columnist Paul Krugman mocked as"nonexistent" in his piece "Health Care Horror Hooey."

#1 Dr. Larry Kawa's law suit appears to be gaining momentum. I listened to him on the news yesterday, very articulate, very determined.

In the mean time Union thugs and mindless membership robots, don't forget that YOU and your cohorts voted for the evil, communist bastid not once, but twice.

#2 Union rank and file, think about this, if you were old enough: Were you better off under Reagan than Obumble? For the younger ones, were you better off in 2004 than 2014?

Now think again about voting for a conservative, if one is running.

#5 Obamacare causes a huge transfer of wealth away from the middle class to those who get ObamaPhones, food stamps and welfare and vote Democrat. The middle class is making less in wages as the result. More and more employers are cutting back employee hours and jobs.

The union is bailing out on Obama? Is that an unintended consequence of government meddling? Will they still vote for a Donk in upcoming elections? Probably. The unions and the insurance companies supported Obamacare from the outset. According to this article, the insurance companies are the ones getting the benefits. Unions not getting their share of the largess? Is that the issue? So far as I can see the middle class, and doctors and patients are the ones who have been screwed by Obamacare.

Something has to change in this country. Soon all those who get stuff from the government will outnumber those who pay for it. Those who get stuff will always vote for those who give them stuff.

By the way, according to Harry Reid (D), those people cited in the union report who got shafted by Obamacare (they are now paying much more than they were previously) are all liars.
