The real goal of Obamacare has always been government run healthcare. Government healthcare means government workers. Government workers means public employee unions. Unions mean dues. Dues go to Democrat politicians’ campaigns. Democrat politicians vote for ever expanding government employees, unions, dues, wages and benefits. And sometimes unions get a really big payoff like half ownership of GM and Chrysler and all their pension benefits bailed out at the expense of taxpayers present and future.
