Quote:Union leaders say many of the law's requirements will drive up the costs for their health-care plans and make unionized workers less competitive.

Quote:John Wilhelm, chairman of Unite Here Health, the insurance plan for 260,000 union workers at places including hotels, casinos and airports, recalls standing next to Barack Obama at a rally in Nevada when he was a 2008 presidential candidate.

"I heard him say, 'If you like your health plan, you can keep it,' " Mr. Wilhelm recalled. Mr. Wilhelm said he expects the administration will craft a solution so that employer health-care plans won't be hurt. "If I'm wrong, and the president does not intend to keep his word, I would have severe second thoughts about the law."

Should have read "Mr. Wilhelm said he expects the administration will craft a solution so that employer (union affiliated only) health-care plans won't be hurt."

Unfortunately............the above is exactly what will occur.

It might be pretty funny if I didn't believe Obama, Pelosi, and Reid will find a way to take care of the unions at our expense.

If this is about the "Cadillac" plans, these Union leaders weren't paying attention.

This was just John Wilhelm's subtle instructions for Obama and his minions to legislate a sweetheart deal to exempt said unions..........watch and see it happen.

Is there any doubt?

Don't need to legislate it that the beauty of Obama Care... Some unelected person in the executive branch or an appointed administrator will just do via administrative processes...

No reason to treat it like an actual law..

Yep. Bow to the Monarch.

Eventually, Obama's minions will craft the law so that the only people paying into Obamacare are white, Christian, heterosexual, upper-middle income males.

But I bet this union cockroach would still vote for Obama and his signature healthcare piece to bring down this country by further bankrupting it. Remember, some animals are more equal than others - especially the ones that bring in the most $$ for his endless campaigning.
