OBAMACARE要解決所謂3千到4千萬沒保險人的保險問題。怎麽解決？現在政府買單被否決了，下麵的問題又來了：所謂讓富人買單的提案工會人員不幹了？這時為審麽泥（小沈陽語錄）？因為工會的保險福利是曆年來鬥爭得來的果實，國會要加40%的稅。什麽概念？原來所謂富人的特權工會早就共享了。如果這40%的稅不加，政府還能拿誰的錢給這30-40MIL潛在的民主黨支持者買單那？

中國曆史上的以殺富濟貧題替天行道最後榮登天下第一把交椅的英雄好漢們，奪了權後發現，富人們才是他們真正的朋友，有油水可撈。幫他們打江山的窮光蛋們老報著跟大王平起平坐，要共享榮華富貴的思想不放，對大王個人貪圖享受很為不滿。　結果怎麽樣？大王發現自己真要殺的不是富人，正是這些幫他打江山的泥腿子們。這些家夥覺悟太低，不知道還有比他們更苦的窮人需要幫助嗎？

突然發現，好像中國的曆史劇在美國的山寨版正在熱播中。

現在靠抽富人的血根本不夠用，老年人和中產階級（您家收入如果是$6。6萬，您別謙虛，您得跟富人一樣貢獻）首當其衝。沒保險的你必須買保險，不買就罰再不就送您老進監獄。

那奧巴馬的全民保險到底想要幹什麽？您還沒明白嗎？

WASHINGTON – Union leaders, among the most passionate backers of President Barack Obama's health care overhaul, pressed Democratic senators Thursday to drop a tax on high-value insurance plans to pay for remaking the nation's system.

As the Senate entered its 11th straight day of debate on the sweeping legislation, members of several labor unions denounced the proposed tax on so-called "Cadillac plans," arguing it wouldn't just hit CEOs but also middle-class Americans who did without salary increases to negotiate better health benefits.

"I support health care reform but I can't afford this tax," Valerie Castle Stanley, an AT&T call center worker and member of the Communications Workers of America, said at a news conference outside the Capitol. "For families like mine that are on a budget, the results will be devastating."

At issue is a proposed 40 percent excise tax on insurance companies, keyed to premiums paid on health care plans costing more than $8,500 annually for individuals and $23,000 for families. The tax would raise some $150 billion over 10 years to help pay for the Democrats' nearly $1 trillion health care bill. The legislation, which appears to be edging closer to passage, would revamp the U.S. health care system with new requirements on individuals and employers designed to extend health coverage to more than 30 million uninsured Americans.

The threshold for insurance plans that would be taxed had been adjusted higher in response to union members' concerns, and Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., a leader of those efforts, has said there could be further changes. But labor organizations including the Teamsters, the AFL-CIO and the National Education Association are urging the Senate to drop the tax entirely and take the approach embraced by the House, which would raise income taxes on individuals making more than $500,000 a year and couples making more than $1 million.

Union leaders have brought hundreds of members to the Capitol this week to lobby lawmakers.

"We should tax the millionaires, not teachers and bus drivers," said Lily Eskelsen, vice president of the National Education Association.

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., who spoke at Thursday's news conference, has authored an amendment with Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, to strip out the insurance plan tax, but doesn't yet have agreement from Senate leaders to offer it. A number of Senate Democrats and White House officials support the insurance plan tax because they believe it would help hold down health care costs by providing an incentive for companies and workers to spend less on health care packages.

On the Senate floor Thursday, Sens. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D., and John McCain, R-Ariz., pushed an amendment to allow U.S. pharmacies and drug wholesalers to import Food and Drug Administration-approved drugs from Canada, Europe and a few other countries. It was unclear when a vote would take place, and people on both sides of the issue said it will be tough for supporters to get the 60 votes they'll need to win.

As a candidate, Obama supported allowing U.S. consumers to order lower-cost prescriptions from abroad. As president, he needs the backing of the drug industry to push his health care bill through Congress. While administration officials contend the president still agrees in principle, the FDA is saying it would be difficult to fully guarantee the safety of imports, lending weight to the industry's main argument.

The most crucial work on the overall bill was being done behind closed doors, where Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and his lieutenants were hunting support for a tentative deal among moderate and liberal Democrats to expand the government's role in providing care.

In a bow to a crucial bloc of liberals, the compromise drops a full-blown government health plan that's a top priority for liberals. Instead, the same federal agency that negotiates health insurance for federal workers and members of Congress — the Office of Personnel Management — would administer national, nonprofit plans available to the public.

In addition, Medicare, currently for those age 65 and up, would be offered to people who are at least 55 and wished to purchase coverage. That provision could guarantee that Democrats won't get the support of moderate Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, the only Senate Republican to support the Democratic health care bill in committee. Snowe said Thursday that expanding Medicare is "the wrong direction to take," citing concerns that the program's payment rates, which are low compared to private insurers, would hurt providers such as hospitals and doctors.

Reid and moderate Sen. Ben Nelson, D-Neb., continued talking about restrictions conservatives want on how to prevent federal health care funds from being used to finance abortions.
