Culinary Union says Bernie Sanders would end its health care (“NV political force”)
KTVZ ^ | Feb 11, 2020 | CNN

Posted on 02/12/2020 2:54:12 AM PST by 11th_VA

The influential Culinary Union distributed a flier that says Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders would “End Culinary Healthcare” if elected president of the United States.

The flier, obtained by CNN on Tuesday, outlines where the leading 2020 Democratic candidates stand on health care, immigration and “Good Jobs.” It singles out Sanders as the candidate who will end the union’s health care among the top six Democratic candidates, pointing to his “Medicare for All” plan.

The release of the flier by the union, which is a force in Nevada politics, comes just a week and a half away from the Nevada caucuses. The organization says it represents 60,000 hotel and casino workers in Nevada and provides health insurance coverage for more than 130,000 people. Its organizing abilities have helped deliver the state for Democrats for years. The union has not endorsed a candidate in the 2020 election...

“Some politicians say … ‘You will get more money for wages from the company if you give up Culinary Health Insurance.’ Those politicians have never sat at our bargaining table or been on a 24/7 6 years, 4 months, and 10 days strike line – like we have to make an employer pay for healthcare,” it reads.

“We will not hand over our healthcare for promises,” the flier reads.

Trump’s economy is the only thing between their pension funds and insolvency.

They’ll vote for Trump.

Nope. It will still be the Dim. They'll make some kind of backdoor deal that will exclude unions from the medicare for all b.s.

Imagine if everyone, with zero exclusions, had to use only Obamacare — Pelosi and klan would have read it thoroughly, and I doubt they’d have passed it. Heck, it would never have been written or been a bill.

True.

Exactly as was done with Obamacare.

Ok, we got a $10 bet. I really hope I'm wrong this time. If I am, I will gladly pay up.

News flash union members: He’ll end health care plans for ALL union members, but grant certain members of the US Politburo an exception.

Curious as to how Bernie voted on the legislation that granted members of Congress and exception from Obamacare...

This is Harry Reid’s state. He and Little Mike got Sisolak elected plus our two Dem senators. They turned our Red state into Blue.

Socialism is a spoils system and the Culinary Union has already got theirs - they don't want an interloper like Sanders coming in to rearrange existing redistribution schemes.

This is why "democratic" Socialism always succumbs to the Stalinist subgroup employing the biggest, meanest, gun-wielders.
