A Cool $10B for Unions in House Health Bill

One of the motivations behind the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) and other Obamaic union-ripoff measures is to replete the unions' pension fund coffers, which have been horribly managed and looted for political purpose (e.g., electing Obama).

Now, the House health care bill is rushing to the aid of unions as well, earmarking $10 billion for a "reinsurance fund" to help pay retired union members' health care bills.

On top of that, if a public option passes in the final health care measure (if the package itself passes), it will require that any provider participating in the plan be unionized.

Thus health care reform=more union bailouts (think Chrysler, GM as precursors).
