From Sarah Palin's Facebook
page:
Remember
when President Obama promised us, “If you like your current health care
plan, you can keep your plan?” That was not true, and his deceptive
claim falls in line with all the other lies about Obamacare – like
there’d be no health care rationing.
Anyone with an ounce of
common sense can understand that if it is cheaper for a company to
cancel employees’ health benefits and pay the $2,000 Obamacare fine
instead of providing, say, a $10,000 government mandated employee health
care plan, then of course that company will choose to pay the much
smaller fine.
And if companies don’t have to provide government
mandated health care for part time employees, then of course that’s an
incentive for them to cut back employees’ hours and make their workforce
part time.
This isn’t rocket science. This is Economics 101. And it’s happening right now at companies all over the country.
We saw this coming, and now even President Obama’s union leader friends
have finally 'fessed up to Obamacare lies. These union leaders betrayed
their own membership by enthusiastically endorsing Obamacare, and now
our good union brothers and sisters are at risk of losing the benefits
they’ve worked for and counted on their whole lives. Union bosses, you
owe your membership an apology, retraction, and resignation.
Union leaders are now scrambling and trying to get special carve-outs
exclusively for union members. I sympathize with union members –
especially when they’re led by thugs. I always do. But this is the wrong
way to go about fixing the enormous train wreck that is Obamacare. More
cronyism, select exemptions, and special subsidies make the problem
worse.
We need to repeal the whole darn thing, and that starts with defunding it.
Union brothers and sisters, don’t let your incompetent leadership
hoodwink you again. Demand a full repeal, an immediate defunding, and
some resignations.
