We Knew This Was Coming

One of the main problems with the programs put forth by the Obama Administration is that they have a way of rewarding friends and punishing enemies. We saw that in the stimulus and we saw that in the green energy programs. Now we are seeing it in ObamaCare.

Breitbart.com is reporting today that President Obama has changed ObamaCare to give a financial break to labor Unions.

The article reports:

The tax, known as the reinsurance fee, requires self-insured organizations, such as unions and some large companies, to pay $63 for each covered member and an additional $63 for each additional family member on a health plan.

The fee was expected to raise $25 billion over three years, with the funds going to insurance companies to offset the cost of covering pre-existing conditions and other mandatory benefits.

Meanwhile, on top of the carnage already hitting millions middle class families in the individual market, there is a coming ObamaCare tax in the employer-based market that’s about to affect millions who are apparently not among the president’s top donors.

We, as voters, are responsible for the leadership we have. Yuck.
