[QUOTE="kingOFchester, post: 1184025, member: 11246"] Hoffa stated, in the interview I posted, dropping the public option is not a deal breaker. As I have tried to illustrate, this is actually what he wants. It is what the Obama administration wants. This is the next step towards single payer system. In time, it will be announced along these lines, "The Teamsters and other Unions will be turning over control of healthcare to the Federal government do to the current broken healthcare system". If successful, you could see as much as 10% of the working population in a government provided plan. At that point many large corporations will jump at the chance to unload their healthcare expense. You will see Hoffa and Obama once again holding hands in unity. Just as we saw UPS and IBT at odds, but now united with the c6 plan. It is a clever plan. 1) Get foot in the door with PPAC. An act that is designed to fail. 2) Write the law in a way that it will actually cost more for insurance. Adults 26 staying on parents plan. Pre-existing conditions and the other things written. 3) Get the unions in control of HC. Easy to do as big business would be more then willing to dump unknown healthcare cost. 4) Get the unions to write letter explaining that the cost is to high. 5) Move unions into a new plan provided by the government. 1-4 are done. Next step 5. It wouldn't surprise me at all if the Union brought the option of Teamcare to UPS from the very beginning. Of course UPS jumped at the opportunity. This would explain why Hall is adamant at pushing through the C6 plan. Hoffa has stated the biggest roadblock in any labor negotiations is healthcare. Remove healthcare from the bargaining table (the largest unknown variable expense) and it would be far easier to negotiate $'s. Higher wages, higher dues. Also higher pension payments that will help secure the future of the shaky retirement funds. At some point, we will see that lost to a government controlled retirement. [/QUOTE]
