The Patriot Post® · Hillary Clinton to Criticize the 'Cadillac Tax'

ObamaCare is unpopular. Just how unpopular is it? Hillary Clinton now thinks it’s politically advantageous to advocate for repealing the “Cadillac tax.” The New York Times reports that Hillary will begin to campaign against the portion of ObamaCare that will place a high tax on employer-based health care plans with high-end premiums. Clinton’s move could have come to ease the blow to unions of her position against the Keystone pipeline. That decision disappointed some unions, and this is a way to appease that constituency. As the Times wrote, “Mrs. Clinton’s campaign aides informed Randi Weingarten, the president of the American Federation of Teachers, of her intentions in the last few days, according to a senior official with the labor group. The union made an early endorsement of Mrs. Clinton in July.” Bottom line: If both sides of the aisle are pointing out problems, then you can expect some major revision to Barack Obama’s signature legislation in the future. And here we thought Clinton was going to further Obama’s agenda.
