Big Labor says no to Medicare for All (for its members)

[Polishprince]

Unionism's Grand Poobah, Richard Trumka, sees the billions that will leave his control and can't see supporting that.

Further, the rank and file might revolt if they get sent to inferior Government run healthcare and they see their union bosses supporting it.

There will be MANY issues regarding Union healthcare plans whether they’re through the Union or employer if/when Single Payer Federal Healthcare fir all comes into being.

The largest issue will be replacing that portion of the employees contractual compensation with either a higher hourly rate or additional benefits.

Trumka told “Fox News Sunday” that while single-payer health care is the way of the future, any plan for the present must allow union workers to keep the plans they fought and sacrificed for.

Why not now, oh to wait for the republicans to kill all unions.

This will be the constant fight over MFA. What to do about those who want to keep their plans. President Obama swallowed his shoes with that sound bite.

Well their doctors let them down. Doctors change networks, die, move, and retire or change networks. Obama has no idea that some doctors are hungry for money .

And that’s the problem with making ostensible promises to promote legislation.

But we, the electorate, insist on it. Obama made promises he couldn't keep but Trump brought it to a whole new level and he is probably more popular with his base than Obama ever was with his.

No argument from me. President Trumps Machiavellian style has a mass appeal with his base.

Nobody forced Obama to make promises he knew he couldn't keep.

There are bound to be compromises made. Just like there was with Obamacare.

That article is from 2015 and if that is so today I'd be surprised.

Union's don't want to hear about MFA because it takes the money of their corrupt hands.

Yep. That's what all this "healthcare reform" bullshit is about. Various interest groups jockeying for control.

And puts it under control of Congress instead. Hmmm
