Firefighters are seeking changes to ObamaCare and are taking their fight to Capitol Hill. The President of the International Association of Firefighters Harold Schaitberger joined Jenna Lee to discuss how the Affordable Care Act’s reinsurance fee will have a negative impact on the health benefits of firefighters.

Life is a Schaitberger and every day you throw another one on the fire.

What a piece of crap.

Sure the fire fighters deserve a fair insurance plan... But not more than Joe Six Pack.

““It doesn’t treat us on a level playing field...”

What you really mean to say is that it doesnt treat you special like the elites who are exempt from obamacare

No Schaitberger...

Puts our plans in jeopardy also.

No special treatment for firefighters.

I just spent two days hearing about the world world ramifications in our County self-insurance pool because of Obamacate. No matter how bad you think it is, times it by 1000.

Uh... it wasn’t intended to. Did you guys read any of this before you agreed to support it?

Firefighters are union and they vote left, you know, the new Socialist Democratic Party. No, firefighters, you are no more special than the average man and woman. You voted for this POS in OUR White House, and you got what you deserve for your suck up loyalty to the unions and oboma.

"THE FIREFIGHTERS LAMENT"

(Or....How Smoke Got in Our Eyes)

They asked us how we knew
ObamaCare was true
We, of course, replied
Our Leader can't be denied
We felt SO good inside

The Right said someday you'll find
Your love for "O" is blind
And though your heart's on fire
You MUST think with your mind

But we all gaily laughed
To think they could doubt our faith in "O"
Yet today, our faith has flown away
We've lost Obama's loverage
Together with our coverage

Now those on the Right deride
Tears we cannot hide
So today we're suing ""O"
And sadly we must say
When a lovely flame dies
We must finally realize
SMOKE GOT IN OUR EYES

Sniff....

Pay Obama's piper like the rest of us sucker taxpayers...or pursue the seduction of Obama's "entitlements".

The firefighters' unions chose the ladder of the two paths....and now they've been hosed.

Heheh.....
