The corruption in both parties is surreal. You couldn’t make this up… the new “compromise” that establishment Republicans and Democrats in the Senate have come up with delay’s part of Obamacare… for unions.
Yes, that means that the unions are now pushing for this, as it will help them, but will have little to no impact on Obamacare for the rest of the people. That means congress and the president have made special exemptions for congress, big corporations, unions… but not the American people.
The response should be simple: individuals should have the SAME delay — at worst — as the large corporations. Anything else is pure corruption.

Here’s what The Hill reported:
Labor unions are poised to score the delay of an ObamaCare tax in the bipartisan budget deal emerging in the Senate.
The bargain under negotiation would make small adjustments to the healthcare law, including delaying the law’s reinsurance fee for one year. The three-year tax is meant to generate revenue that will stabilize premiums on the individual market as sick patients enter the risk pool.
The tax applies to all group health plans, but unions argue it will raise their healthcare costs while providing them no benefit.
The reinsurance tax figured prominently in discussions at a recent AFL-CIO convention, where workers passed a resolution demanding changes to ObamaCare.
No special exemptions or delays. Either we delay the entire plan, or not at all. Ideally, we repeal or defund. But under no circumstances do we keep creating “special” rules for the politically connected.The bargain under negotiation would make small adjustments to the healthcare law, including delaying the law’s reinsurance fee for one year.
