SEIU drops health coverage for children
« on: November 30, 2010, 05:02:03 PM »
HA!!!

http://blogs.wsj.com/metropolis/2010/11/20/union-drops-health-coverage-for-workers-children/

Quote
One of the largest union-administered health-insurance funds in New York is dropping coverage for the children of more than 30,000 low-wage home attendants, union officials said. The union blamed financial problems it said were caused by the state’s health department and new national health-insurance requirements.

The irony here is approaching epic levels......

“Fear of death increases in exact proportion to increase in wealth,” Hemingway once said. Today, many of us have become rich in the currency of cowardice. We have so many things and so few experiences. We are desperate to live as long as possible, not as large as possible. We are so afraid to say goodbye to the world that we never say hello.
-Marty Beckerman (from a Wired article of all things)

Indeed. Barry has stated repeatedly his goal was to create a single payer system (along with shutting down all coal production). Put the insurance companies out of business so Big Brother can swoop in and take control.

Personally, I do not understand how a bunch of people demanding a bigger govt can call themselves anarchist.
I meet lots of folks like this, claim to be anarchist but really they're just liberals with pierced genitals. - gunsmith
