Union's on health care

[wondermite]

I would like to see a national union health care plan for all union member's i think that would shake up our political friend's a bit if we did no more than talk about it.

1. do you plan on unions getting together and paying for it?
then you have to accept less money going into political areas, or pay your rep more.
2. do you plan on the members doing this?
then you have to use more of your own money that is already being sucked out through union dues and taxes. you might get a good deal depending on how many go along with this.
3. do you plan on the buisnesses doing this?
you have to accept the concequences when operating costs get to high for the buisness to cut jobs and even worse, leaving the country or area for lower operational expenditures.

it apsolutely blows me away that people do not think about the externalities when they are thinking about their individualistic needs. union workers are no longer competing with american workers, but with folks that will work for one twentieth what you will. thank you clinton for NAFTA.

please listen real close
i would like our elected gov. to get a for- real health care program going. clinton is not with us so may be bush may have to wake up and get involved.
if the gop elected congress ever gets anything going
Then i would like our union members to get together on it.
Im sorry i had to explain this all the way. this person has to be with the gop.

Bush? He's pro buisness, like Arnold. Neither are in ttouch with the working class. Neither care about the poor, except when it's to their own benefit.

Single payer, anyone ?
