Roofer Union Calls for Repeal of Obama Health Law

[BlueStreak]

Good. Maybe if employer provided healthcare becomes a prohibitively expensive nightmare the unions and employers alike, will finally, at long last, GIVE UP ON IT.

One can only hope.

Republicans have long attacked Obama’s promise that “nothing in this plan will require you to change your coverage or your doctor.” But the fact that unions are now noting it as well is a clear sign that supporters of the law are growing anxious about the law’s implementation.

Maybe, one of these days, they wont?

Agreed. The last thing someone needs is to have their healthcare tied to their job and the occasional pissant vindictive boss.

Oh, the guys who got inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last week. I wonder if Pete attended?

I must be missing the part of that that is not either spin or scare tactics aiming to create doubt and proving nothing. Bo-ring.
