ObamaCare: Union Waiver Favors Pile Up

Union bosses fought tooth and nail to nationalize America’s health care—even, in many cases, to the detriment of their own members. Now, instead of chewing on and swallowing what they bit off, unions are getting waivers to the very plan that they shoved down everyone else’s throat.



Here’s the list of known unions* getting ObamaCare waivers:

  1. Service Employees Benefit Fund
  2. UFCW Allied Trade Health & Welfare Trust
  3. IBEW No.915
  4. Asbestos Workers Local 53 Welfare Fund
  5. Plumbers & Pipefitters Local 123 Welfare Fund
  6. UFCW Local 227
  7. UFCW Maximus Local 455
  8. Local 25 SEIU
  9. UFCW Local 1262
  10. Local 802 Musicians Health Fund
  11. Greater Metropolitan Hotel
  12. Local 17 Hospitality Benefit Fund
  13. I.U.P.A.T.
  14. Transport Workers
  15. UFT Welfare Fund
  16. UABT
*Several other entities appear to be joint union-employer benefit plans, but it is unclear if this assumption is correct, so only the known union plans are listed above.

While some of us are seeing our health care costs go through the roof, union bosses are getting waivers. This isn’t just wrong, it is grossly hypocritical.

    Now it’s blatantly obvious that Obamacare isn’t for all of us, it’s for all of us who didn’t help him screw us.

    They’re supposedly a lefty health care think tank/advocacy group who pushed for Obamacare

    The unions getting waivers is sickening, after they pushed so hard for this bill

    And don’t forget the unions ALREADY also got a $10 billion payout buried in Obamacare to help with “early retiree health care”– for those union members who get to retire at 50 on the union’s dime, we the taxpayers get to subsidize it now

    “An ObamaCare waiver for everybody who wants one!”

    Think we could take back the White House with that message?
