A Roofer union has joined other labor unions (IBEW, UFCW...) to demand the repeal of Obamacare that they once supported....

Quote:Labor unions are breaking with President Obama on ObamaCare.

Months after the president’s reelection, a variety of unions are publicly balking at how the administration plans to implement the landmark law. They warn that unless there are changes, the results could be catastrophic.

I also favor the repeal of Obamacare as long as we replace it with Medicare-For-All.

Ditto.

Personally, I like Obamacare but I would have liked a public option added to it. I mean, if the free market of health care is so much better, it shouldn't be any real problem, right?

I even talked to my mom about the issue a while ago. She works for Blue Cross/Blue Shield, so the company she works for would literally cease to exist if we had universal healthcare but she STILL supports it.

Absolutely. What we need is real SOCIALISM for dickheads like our nazi pal to hate instead of this pro-business shit that was put in as a minor stopgap improvement over the catastrophe that previously existed.

No one should be making money off of another's illness and/or injury. It's just slimy and wrong. Hospitals need money to run, but there is a better way. Obamacare doesn't fix the system, but at least it tries to ensure everyone can get medical attention when they need it.

Healthcare is a right, not a privilege.

...real SOCIALISM would be a hard sell in this country...maybe Venezuela or Cuba would be more to your liking. You can always seek asylum in a Socialist country somewhere since the "nazi" U.S. is such a bad place to live...maybe next time the House Democrats won't listen to Nancy Pelosi when she opens her big trap and says, “But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of controversy.”...so much for fog and controversy.

Here`s a thing for you americans.

The most conservative movements in the german political system - are state employed workers unions.

At least the police and teacher unions here are amongst the most conservative movements in the country.

Parallel universe.

Conservatives, lol, because if doctors were paid 15 instead $50/hour they would not heal anyone or they would go somewhere else...
