No one is talking about one of the biggest 2016 campaign issues except our blog.

Obamacare’s “Cadillac tax” will hit one in four employers, most of these employers being the nation's unions, according to analysis released on Tuesday.   I have been reminding the readership,  for a year,  that this coming enrollment period  (beginning in October) will finally see the inclusion of the employer mandate.  And that mandate includes a 40% tax on quality written health insurance policies,  most of which are union sponsored plans.  

When I write "40% tax" I am saying that all current quality written, employer sponsored,  plans will see a 40% monthly/annual increase to their premiums   . . . .   in addition to the normal annual premium increases.   

I expect to see a huge outcry coming from the unions.  I, also,  believe that this increase will be a major 2016 campaign issue.  

Some (mostly Democrats) in Congress want their staffers exempt from ObamaCare as if their hardship is of greater concern than that of the larger population.

According to some in this morning’s new,  Boehner has not been a part of this scheme.  Those politicians involved in this hypocritical nonsense,  argue that their staffers don’t earn enough to pay either the cost of health care or  the fines for not doing so,  and with that complaint,  our politicians prove themselves willfully ignorant of the [identical] complaints of the people.  This is a Democrat bill to the exclusion of the GOP and proves the political theory that argues for Democrat One Party Rule to the exclusion of all who oppose their point of view.   They have moved to criminalize opposition speech and failed,  to end discussion transmitted over the air-waves via the so-called “Fairness Doctrine” and failed,  and have,  on every turn,  worked against the demonstrable will of the people in its (the Democrat Party) pursuit of  Utopian and communal national/world goals. 

Understand that if Boehner was involved in such talks,  early on,  he has left that negotiating table.  From all reports,  Reid continues to work for this exemption. 

Read this excerpt from Politico with caution: 

The Politico reported:

Congressional leaders in both parties are engaged in high-level, confidential talks about exempting lawmakers and Capitol Hill aides from the insurance exchanges they are mandated to join as part of President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul, sources in both parties said.

The talks — which involve Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), the Obama administration and other top lawmakers — are extraordinarily sensitive, with both sides acutely aware of the potential for political fallout from giving carve-outs from the hugely controversial law to 535 lawmakers and thousands of their aides. Discussions have stretched out for months, sources said.

A source close to the talks says: “Everyone has to hold hands on this and jump, or nothing is going to get done.”

Yet if Capitol Hill leaders move forward with the plan, they risk being dubbed hypocrites by their political rivals and the American public. By removing themselves from a key Obamacare component, lawmakers and aides would be held to a different standard than the people who put them in office.
