According to the New York Post, and other sources, unions (including federal employees') will escape the tax on the premier health care plans they receive, while the rest of us will pay through the nose for it.
"Big Labor got some big love from President Obama and congressional Democrats yesterday after they agreed to exempt union workers from the whopping “Cadillac tax” on high-cost health-care plans until 2018. The sweetheart deal, hammered out behind closed doors, will save union employees at least $60 billion over the years involved, while others won't be as lucky -- they'll have to cough up almost $90 billion "

Honor, integrity, constitutionalism and our economy for sale to the highest bidder, and beholden to the unions. Union membership makes up less than 15% of the American work force. So, on top of solving a 15% health insurance problem by destroying the 85% effective system, we now will exempt 15% of the nations workers from paying for the Democrat plan, at the expense of other paying citizens.
A travesty of constitutional, economic, and political justice. Overpaid unionized workers get sweetheart deals, everyone else gets the bill.

TAHL,
Union workers may well make up only a small percentage of this nation's workers, but they make up a far greater percentage of government workers. Higher still is the percentage of money contributed to Democratic politicians by unions. Add in the relationship of our current president to SEIU and you have all the elements of a perfect storm.
We both know that this was never about health care or health insurance, but was always about power. If this law is passed and signed, yet another large block of it will be passed to those in Washington DC.
