HEALTH CARE SET TO PASS THIS WEEKEND: NO 72 HOUR REVIEW WINDOW!

Word leaked out late yesterday from Capitol Hill “anonymous sources” that the House of Representatives has reached an agreement with major unions over the tax on “Cadillac Policy” issues. Details of the agreement are not readily forthcoming, but the sources did say that a number of major concessions were made by the White House in exchange for the unions dropping their objections to the policy tax. The House will probably vote on the revised plan sometime before Saturday morning and their bill will immediately be forwarded to the Senate for their approval by Monday morning when the Bill will be forwarded to the President. The public will not be allowed to see or comment on the Bill until after it becomes law.


COMMENTS:
If true, and I believe it is, this is an OUTRAGE! It is obvious that threats have been made and more dirty dealing has taken place. It is also obvious that what Obama wants is far more important to Congress than what we want. This violates every fundamental principle in the Constitution.
NOTE: Word coming out this morning is that the unions have agreed to taxes on their "Cadillac" medical insurance plans, not beginning until 2018, in return for which they get complete protection from taxes on dental and vision plans forever, drug companies get taxed at a higher rate, (which will be passed on to the taxpayers), and non-union members will pay higher premiums for less coverage.  Although they are saying this will be passed "within days," late tonight or early tomorrow morning for the House is still the apparent target time. 
 

TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. Obama wants to tax the banks on the basis of “getting our money back.” But, won’t the banks just pass the taxes on to us as consumers? (Arlo ~ Chicago, IL)
A. Yes, so it amounts to another hidden tax on you and me. These guys have so, so much smoke and mirrors going on, they make used car salesmen look like priests.


Q. Why is Google pulling out of China? (Archie ~ Houma, LA)
A. Search me.


Q. I hear there is a White House “Czar” in charge of transparency, and that Vice President Biden has been having meetings with him? (Clarice ~ Sun Valley, ID)
A. I heard that, too. But, if so, the meetings on transparency are being held in secret. Go figure that one out.
