...companies with large populations of retirees that now have health
insurance through their former employees will, instead, be dumped and
forced onto Medicaid and Medicare.

I’m not a lawyer...but I can’t help but wonder if a lawyer (Obama)
has sponsored the death of contract law in America. (I admit that
the agreements governing employer payments to retirees may have
major “escape clauses” for both the employer/retirees.)

If Obama and Co. have screwed with contract law, especially for retirees...
I pray Obama, Reid, Pelosi and their merry band of Chicago-style thugs
assume the “deer-in-the-headlight” stare in disbelief when the November
election returns come in.

I have been trying to get the point across here as well, though not as articulately as you just did. People who were responsible, planned for their retirement so they wouldn't be a burden on anyone, and took jobs they may not have wanted or particularly enjoyed in order to do just that, are demonized. The entire country is upside down, since when are those bad things? A lot of these people may not have liked the unions anymore than those so against them publicly, but they work where it benefits their families, and I won't bash hard working Americans for working hard and planning for their futures. To do so is way to far off the jealousy line. It's union management that is the blame, not employees, who wouldn't join the union if they didn't have to.
