Trump Is Cutting Off Big Labor From Skimming Americans’ Medicaid Payments And Unions Are Furious
The Daily Caller ^ | 07/10/2018 | Tim Pearce

The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) is blistering at a proposed regulation that would prevent the union from siphoning fees from American workers’ Medicaid payments.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services announced a proposed rule Tuesday that would require Medicaid payments to go directly to healthcare workers, ending a 2014 Obama-era rule that let third parties, such as unions and insurance companies, skim off a share of the paycheck before the worker saw any of it.

The SEIU, one of the largest public-sector unions in the U.S., referred to the proposed rule “as part of the [Trump] administration’s broad, coordinated attack against working people.”

The practice has netted unions billions of dollars from public-sector home healthcare workers forced to pay union dues or “agency fees” equivalent to 85 percent of a dues payment to cover the cost of representation for non-members.

I was absolutely unaware and APPALLED! I read yesterday it was $200 million last year alone!

Boy, does this steam me, they could just skim this off (I thought skimming was for thousands of dollars, not millions!)

Grrrrrr...it is stuff like this that makes me hate unions with a white hot passion.

I hate the SEIU.

Screw them over every way possible, them stomp and pee on the dead remains.

Trump is righting a wrong. Union workers should be thankful.

This is what happens with big government. No oversight, sneaky deals.

TG for POTUS

Could add another 1-2 % of Trump’s support from POC. Enough to put him over the top I hope.

Agree. This former union steward applauds POTUS for cutting this skimming off.

The founders said Obama could not be President.
We did not listen.

One is only naturally a citizen when one is born with only one nationality.

Obama told us he was born a British subject.

You begin to wonder if two terms of Donald J. Trump will be enough to undo all this $hit? Particularly when the GOPE is a willing participant in the abetting of these skimming schemes, which are nothing more than semi-legalized theft of government funds.

It seems to be a help to working people and an attack against thug unions to me.

Reality is exactly the opposite of what the union thug said. Trump is helping the worker.

What the heck kind of rule was that???? No fricking wonder healthcare was so expensive. Apparently every Tom, Dick and Obama were skimming public money for politics.

Reminds me of the definition of "politics". From the latin "Poly" meaning "many or multiple" and "tic" from tick..a blood sucking parasite.
