Oh look a bunch of idiots who know nothing about seasonal firefighters acting like they know what the hell they're talking about.
Seasonal firefighters work a few months out of the year. They are drug addicts, alcoholics, and felons, largely, who do not work the rest of the year. They don't make enough in a year to pay for this fucking insurance.
Plus they work in a high risk job..high risk of injury and illness...not to mention high risk of overdose and fatal fucking tooth decay from years of meth abuse. They routinely get drunk and drive a truck full off cliffs, killing and maiming a good half dozen a shot.
Fucking liberals are idiots. I get neg reps from idiots who accuse me of being stupid and on welfare (wtf?) but for the people who ARE on welfare (at least most of the year) and who don't pay their child support and who are drug addicted freaks...why nothing is too good for THOSE people. Make the normal people pay through the nose!!!!
Obama says part-time firefighters can buy employee health insurance - The Washington Post
Federal firefighters regularly work in a burning hell. But many are allowed to work only 1,039 hours, just under six months, not including overtime. That makes them part-timers who are not eligible to secure health insurance through the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP).
Until now.
President Obama met with firefighters during his trip to a Colorado fire area last month. Now, his administration plans to issue interim regulations allowing them to buy health insurance just like other employees.
so Obama can just issue whatever he wants now..
we don't have a President people, we have a king
Cue the USMB wingnut brigade's accusations of socialism/big gov't in 3...2...1...
I thought Obamacare already made it possible for every American to afford insurance?
Good job!
At the very least..the heroes fighting the nation's fires deserve health care. It's a hazardous job.
Remember how the R fought against health care insurance for the 9/11 first responders? Even when they finally passed the bill, they made sure that the most common disease caused by their heroism - cancer - would not be covered.

Yet Obama wants to raise the VETS insurance by 300 percent..

I would hope they were covered by Workers' Comp while on the job.

Of course it is free, and the taxpayer gets fucked.
It is the Owebama way.

A good start for you would be to understand what is in it? Much of the program won't go into affect until 2014. Worry not con crusader, the con's will try and defund it just like the consumer protection act and will pay the price at the polls by the people who matter - ones that can see past the monied interests.
You see, the con's cannot win based on facts, truth, etc. so they're going after those who vote trying to focus on folks who vote mostly democratic. If they can't and won't win on the up and up, they'll TRY and change the rules to suit their ultimate power trip.

As my republican/conservative step dad that was a stock broker(investment /securities management also) would say, "can't save the world"
They're temporary, seasonal workers.
And they're getting FEDERAL health insurance.
This is fucking insane.
