No I contend ( and I have no data to back it up ) another reason for Obamacare was to have a vehicle that failing Corporations and Municipalities could dump their retired or about to be workers into aka GM and Detroit which they did when they went belly up. Remember Muni Bond Guru Meredith Whitney when she warned of Mini Defaults because of legacy cost? This pension mentioned includes Municipal workers that were truckers, or so I have read and many are from Michigan.
Thanks for your comment. Had forgotten about Whitney.
