Socialized medicine already bailing out unions, municipalities

This is from:  FACT SHEET: The Affordable Care Act’s Early Retiree Reinsurance Program

The Early Retiree Reinsurance Program will provide much-needed financial relief for employers so retirees can get quality, affordable insurance starting this year.

Quality, Affordable Care for Early Retirees
The percentage of large firms providing workers with retiree coverage has dropped from 66 percent in 1988 to 31 percent in 2008.

The Affordable Care Act provides $5 billion in financial assistance to employers to help them maintain coverage for early retirees age 55 and older who are not yet eligible for Medicare.

Employers can use the savings to either reduce their own health care costs, provide premium relief to their workers and families or a combination of both.

Funny, as I'm writing this, Stuart Varney just came on Fox to talk about it. He says that, to date, the UAW (United Auto Workers) has been the largest recipient of money from this bill. Jeez, they only make about $50.00 an hour, with "cadillac" benefits that cost so much they bankrupted GM and Dodge/Chrysler. Yeah, they need the help.

I'm so glad I get to work my tired old butt to the bone so these blockheads can take an early retirement. And I can't afford insurance. All of the money I could use to buy insurance (and/or save for retirement) goes to the feds to buy votes for the Comrade and his marxist cronies.

Don't believe me? Think I'm just a pigheaded "extremist" whining and propagandizing? Check out this government web site that lists all recipients of these goodies, state by state. A few very large corporations, many, many unions, and many, many "City of...," "County of..." "Village of..."

So I guess this bullshit is one of the things the Wisconsin legislature -- and Ohio, among others -- is trying to combat. As well as being a sugar-tit the unions don't want to give up. Hey, keep beating those tom-toms, you blood-sucking parasites.

Wanna see who's sucking up the funds in your state? The feds have provided us a list at:

So these jerks are collecting benefits -- and racking up costs -- before anyone else sees anything but higher insurance premiums and taxes from this bullshit legislation.

Yes, Reid, Pelosi, Schumer, and all you merry marxists, by all means, lets pay off your union supporters to guarantee that SOMEBODY will vote for you in 2012. Too bad the dems can only attract voters by buying them off. It's a significant indication of just  how evil the dems are, how destructive they are. How corrupt.

And they stick non-union taxpayers with the bill.

You like this arrangement? I'd say "write your congressman," but in Illinois, for one state, that's a total joke.

Save the Republic.
