Now that union officials are facing the impact of ObamaCare on their members, they want none of it. The Washington Examiner reports union officials have met with the White House to push for an exemption to protect their members from the crushing costs that are about to come crashing down on this country. Now two members of Congress want to know what the union fix will cost.
The lawmakers — House Education and the Workforce Committee Chairman John Kline, R-Minn., and House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp, R-Mich. — said taxpayers deserve to know what it would cost to give the unions what they demand.
“In the more than three years since signing Obamacare into law, President Obama has unilaterally granted waivers, special deals and delays to unions and other politically favored friends. This special treatment is unfair to the American families and individuals who are burdened with higher health costs and losing the insurance they have and like as a result of this law,” Camp said.
The chairmen have requested a response from CBO and the JCT by Sept. 19.
