Book: Obamacare law designed to unionize 21 million health care workers

dailycaller

  • In a book set for publication Tuesday, a politics and government professor at The Citadel claims President Obama’s 2009 health care reform law was, in part, a union-driven effort to organize 21 million health care workers.
  • “It is clear that Big Labor is banking on the probability that all healthcare workers eventually become federal, state, and municipal healthcare employees,” Loos told Factor. That, he said, would make them eligible for involuntary unionization through public-sector unions like AFSCME and the SEIU.
  • “For every million additional health care workers unionized in the 27 non-right-to-work states,” he told TheDC, “the unions stand to earn $1 billion in dues.”
Obamacare looks to be politically motivated to help Democrats become a permanent majority party.  But how does it help anybody else?

The government can't pay for its promises as it is.  This doesn't help.
