Union Boss Rips Obamacare: 'We'll Be D@@ned if We're Going to Lose Our Health Insurance!'
Big Government ^ | 9/13/2013 | Wynton Hall

Posted on 09/13/2013 3:49:42 PM PDT by markomalley

A leading labor union boss delivered an impassioned rebuke of Obamacare at the AFL-CIO convention Thursday, telling attendees, "we'll be damned if we're going to lose our health insurance because of unintended consequences in the law!" 

Laborers' International Union of North America (LIUNA) President Terry O'Sullivan said, "if the Affordable Care Act is not fixed, and it destroys the health and welfare funds that we have all fought for and stand for, then I believe it needs to be repealed. We don't want it repealed. We want it fixed, fixed, fixed." 

O'Sullivan added: "We can't have the unintended consequences for the proud men and women that we represent to be collateral damage in the healthcare fight in this country."

I almost want to see Obamacare pass, just to see these guys screwed.

We warned you Dems that your party had been taken over- and you were too blind with political ideology and desire for “revenge”.

So you got your revenge- and IT got you.

Reap-sow.

They'll settle for a full exemption which they'll very probably get...quietly.They have no interest in anything like a repeal because Osama Obama’s their guy.

What about the intended consequences you fool?

O’Sullivan added: “We can’t have the unintended consequences for the proud men and women that we represent to be collateral damage in the healthcare fight in this country.”

We can't have the unintended consequences

The consequences are perfectly intentional, as any student of the authors and the process can tell you.

Recommendation to Union members, inform your union bosses to visit Harry Reid and his thugs in Congress and tell them your wallets are closed as are your votes come 2014 and 2016. Then you’ll see how quick the Fuhrer starts delaying his DeathCare due to pressure from his Liberal cohorts in Congress.

We don't want it repealed. We want it fixed, fixed, fixed

Translation: "We don't give a damn what you do to everyone else, just make sure we (unions) are exempt from the laws that apply to others.......as we always are."

Again, these chumps supported the central planners that stuck us with the 0bamacare suppository. If they are exempted, the rest of us had better be spared.

It’s pretty pathetic to be the battered wife of a guy who rides a girl bike.

They will probably get a taxpayer provided subsidy to their "Cadillac Plans" provided by the "One" in an executive decision on a late Friday afternoon.

I’ve got the perfect amendment language right here, and everybody wins, just like in Syria: “Section 1: Members of Unions, as defined in Section 2, shall be exempt from all provisions of this Act. Section 2: The term, Members of Unions, shall be defined as including all human beings and all corporations or other entities of any nature whatsoever.”

Problem solved, and we don’t have to repeal Obamacare.
