[QUOTE="jim50321, post: 661650, member: 22248"] Here is a recent column by Bob Herbert at the NY Times that spells out just how disastorous this plan will be for hard hard working union members who have traded wage increases for quality health care for their families over the years. [URL]http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/29/opinion/29herbert.html?_r=1[/URL] I urge Teamsters to write, phone or email your Senators, congressmen and the White House and urge them to strip this funding provision. The president campaigned against this and the house version funds the reform by increasing taxes on those making over $250,000 a year, a plan consistent with Obama's pledge not to raise taxes on the middle class. If you think this will be changed in conference without major pressure from union workers you are wrong. Democrats simply want to pass a bill to say that reformed health care. By using this funding mechanisim they are blatantly taking union support for granted. They are wrong on that. I have already informed my Senator that I will not support him at the ballot box or or give money to any democrat in 2010 if HCR passes in its current form. I urge you all to do the same. [/QUOTE]
