Thread Name: BS: So who's signed up for Obamacare?
Subject: RE: BS: So who's signed up for Obamacare?
as a state worker I can join the union and my health care is similiar to that of the federal employees...

so instead of reading bs from fear mongers, why not check out comments made to the ARRP site such as this one:

I'm a retired Postal Worker and I am under the Federal Employee Health Benefit program also. This is almost exactly what President Obama was trying to get for all Americans but was prevented from doing so by the Republicans. The government negotiates with many insurance companies on coverage and rates. Then the people have the choice to pick a coverage plan or rate that best suits them. The government pays a portion and the individual pays a portion. I go to my regular doctor, my regular hospital, specialists referred by my doctor, have prescription benefits, etc. All by choosing from many insurance companies. Also I am not punished for "pre-existing" conditions. And every year, I can change plans if I choose without any penalty. This is what every American should have. This is what President Obama wants for the American people.

The President wants the same coverage as the members of Congress enjoy... I don't see any of the Tea Party rejecting their health coverage... that is supposedly so bad for the nation. Hypocrites to the bitter end.
