Senators come out against Union demands for Obamacare aid

We were told they'd have to pass the bill before we
would find out what was in it.
Last week I posted an article about Unions that supported Obamacare now whining about the costs...AFTER THE FACT.

Well it seems that 31 Senators decided they didn't like the union whining either and decided to take action:
Thirty-one Republican senators are urging the White House to reject union "demands" that ObamaCare subsidies be extended to some workers that already have coverage through their jobs, saying this is blatantly prohibited under the law. 
The senators fired off a letter to President Obama Thursday following a newspaper report that unions -- worried that the law's other requirements would drive up the price of health care plans -- want lower-paid workers to have access to federal subsidies.

I expect this to fall on deaf ears. The private sector is under attack. Unions will be subsidized and private people and companies will be expected to pony up. The shock of this will hopefully wake a few sleepyheads up. Obamacare didn't get a single Republican vote; it will make it harder to blame it on the Repubs, although stranger things have happened with this President already...

The Unions gave money to get Obama elected and to pass ObamaCare. Then they turned around and asked for waivers from ObamaCare, and they received them. Now they want special treatment. Nothing surprising about their sense of entitlement and lack of shame. And Obama consistently ignores due process and laws. He wants everyone to think he's their sugar daddy. This is UnAmerican. Plenty of people don't even have jobs or health care insurance. Yet we are taxed to give it to people who have jobs. That is not fair. Then there's the fact that we'll not be free people when a government official has this type of power, to give to those who in terms of voting "put out."

Unions already get too much from the government. Let's be real, they are Democrats. Government officials pad their pockets, and unions line the pockets of the politicians. Seems HIGHLY and completely corrupt. And it leads to businesses fleeing the country. Keep your hands out of everyone else's pockets. If you can't pay for your health insurance, why should you be able to get the government to force someone else to pay?
