#1 It's not incompetence if the system was designed to fail.

#2 It's good that it mentions getting healthcare away from the FDR inspired disaster of business healthcare cover as a good idea.

FDR, Americas WORST president.

#4 No shit.

Is it me, or does it seem that every union which can in whatever way has attempted to re-negotiate their contracts with an emphasis on continued health care costs to be picked up by the business, like they know something?

They whole thing should have been null and void after the first waiver as unequal application of the law; this care cost loophole as the cool kids call it.
