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

Posted on 07/11/2018 12:13:02 PM PDT by detective

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.”

I’m gobsmacked this was even allowed to begin with!

Ha, I'm not. This govt has been screwing us over for decades. Most of it we don't even know about, and they don't want us to know.

Nothing but friggin thieves!

You begin to wonder if two terms of Donald J. Trump will be enough to undo all this $hit?

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

IMO, no. Pence is a nice guy, but if he follows Trump, he won’t make progress, but perhaps he’ll keep what Trump has done from being unraveled. Trump is one-of-a-kind .... there will never be another President like him and I don’t see anyone following who has the brass to continue undoing all the Dem/Prog/Lib/Obama GOPe enabled damage done for the the last couple of decades (at a minimum).

The SEIU is evil. Thy have been stealing this money from families who are usually struggling financially due to high medical bills.
I though the government had effectively stopped this theft a few years ago, but I guess the Obama administration allowed it to continue.

The little known fact is much of Obamacare was written by SEIU lawyers working with AARP and SEIU owned United Healthcare.
We all knew it back in 2009 but like always, the GOP-e was too busy to listen.

I'm sure said with a straight face as anyone with the slightest comprehension can see it stops allowing the union from taking money from the working people for themselves. A full on attack FOR the working people I am sure they meant to say.

What on earth do the unions need billions of dollars for? Do those ugly purple buses and gas to bus union members to polls across the country cost that much?

It will not.

Just like faster-than-light space travel will allow humans to colonize far distant planets. A nice dream but a practical impossibility.

“Trump is one-of-a-kind .... there will never be another President like him and I don’t see anyone following who has the brass to continue undoing all the Dem/Prog/Lib/Obama GOPe enabled damage done for the the last couple of decades (at a minimum).”

What about Trump Jr., or Eric? (Forget Ivanka, she’s a out and out Liberal). By the time their father is finished, one or the other of them, and maybe both, will be in a position to run for the Presidency. Forget Pence, he is to Trump as GHWB was to Reagan, except that I think he’s a decent man, unlike every last one of the Booshes!

Seriously!? That has been a legal practice for them? Its sad, unions were supposed to protect workers from that type of thug tactics.

Those people don’t make good wages to start with ... trust a union to come in and help themselves to the workers’ money.
