Trump administration to dump Obama-era rule allowing unions to siphon Medicaid money
Fox News ^ | July 10, 2018 | Gregg Re

The Trump administration announced Tuesday it planned to end what it suggested was an illegal Obama-era rule allowing unions to Federal law generally prohibits states from skimming money from Medicaid payments bound for independent in-home personal care workers. But in 2014, the Obama administration created an exception, saying that states could divert some of that Medicaid money to unions, on the theory that these workers effectively were public-sector employees.

Eleven left-leaning states have used that provision to raise more than $200 million a year for unions by taking it from health workers who often didn't even realize it, according to top GOP officials.

Those states include California, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Illinois -- a blue state which has been at the center of recent Supreme Court rulings stripping power from organized labor.collect dues from state subsidies intended for home health workers -- including family caregivers.

I absolutely despise socialism. It's evil, and steals peoples individuality and souls. The left’s ‘leaders’ love it, because it provides them an opportunity to control others and elevate themselves. Liberalism is built on the false perception by the liberal leadership that they are the superior beings in the world. Little could be more pathetic and inaccurate.

This man gets it right. He’s universally despised by the swamp for attacking the corrupt institutions that have been filling their pockets. I’m in awe.

Further evidence of just what a corrupt jackass Obama was (and continues to be).

Nothing but a bunch of f*cking crooks. Can’t actually earn money, just figure out a way to launder it from the taxpayer, while sliding an envelope to some Dem Congressperson every month for the help.

This is no different than the Russian mob in NYC, fleecing Medicaid/Medicare.

“Give them a union whether or not they even want it.”

That’s pretty presumptuous.

And he’s just peeling some leaves off of the top of the swamp. He hasn’t even started to pump.

Accurate statement and disgusting to think about what is really going on and has been for decades. Wait until he starts dealing with all the redundant agencies and programs that cost us Billions a year ...

Property values in the DC metro area might be slowly dropping.

This at a time when I’ve been hoping, for the sake of survival, to be in the vicinity. Well, it’s ultimately a better bargain for me, then.

IIRC...this Obama “rule” made family members who looked after old/infirm/disabled family member/s join a union and pay dues, too; which was an OBSCENE thing to do!

Government Unions need to go and they are hanging on by a thread as they only exist because of an EO, not a passed law

Check it out, stroke of the pen, law of the land used against them in their rush to use the unions as a money pump

Another one bites the dust

And another ones gone
And another ones gone

Another on bites the dust!

Hey!
