The Patriot Post® · Big Labor's O'Care Exemption

As anticipated, Big Labor was officially granted a waiver from ObamaCare’s reinsurance fee. And the administration will raise taxes on the not-so-fortunate to cover the lost revenue as a result. The Washington Examiner has the details: “The change exempts ‘self-administered, self-insured group health plans’ from the law’s reinsurance fee. The shift will raise the cost of the tax for those who do pay to $44 a year. It had previously been $42. In essence, the change is forcing those who don’t get the exception to pay an extra $2 for those who do.” This pat on the back will appease one of Obama’s biggest constituencies who worked tirelessly to get ObamaCare passed in the first place, but who have recently played the part of critic instead of cheerleader. Obama’s darlings may be happily embracing the news, but the rest of America is once again catering to unions’ demands.
