Aircraft manufacturer Boeing Comany is the latest mega employer claiming the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (also known as Obamacare) is part of why its employees will have to pay more for their medical benefits next year. In a letter mailed to employees late last week, Boeing said deductibles and copayments are going up significantly for some 90,000 non-union workers due in part to the effects of the new law.

“significantly for some 90,000 non-union workers due in part to the effects of the new law.”
Am I missing something??? Are there union employees that are not getting increases?
I am really seriously thinking about retiring to a Pacific Rim country to escape this bull sh!t.

Hopefully the Boeing workers will think about this when they’re trying to decide whether to vote for Murray or Rossi.

Excellent! Blame the unions thugs for bringing this on themselves.

I'd hazard a guess that this announcement being made in October might have a bit to do with the elections.....

Every other place that I've worked, handles this stuff in November.

Neil Cavuto reported this on his show today.
