<P class=MsoNormal><FONT size=3><FONT face="Times New Roman">The Affordable
Care Act (ACA) of 2010, also known as Obamacare, presents challenges to the
multiemployer plans through which some unions bargain collectively to provide
health care insurance for their members.<SPAN> </SPAN>These plans, often
called Taft Hartley Plans, currently cover about 26 million workers, families,
and retirees.<SPAN> </SPAN>Unless there is a major regulatory change
made by Health and Human Services, these union negotiated plans will be struck
a harsh blow once the exchanges go into effect in 2014.<SPAN>
</SPAN><O></O></FONT></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT size=3><FONT face="Times New Roman">A quiet effort by
many unions to persuade the Obama administration to make this change is now
becoming very public.<O></O></FONT></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT size=3><FONT face="Times New Roman">In an Op Ed
published in The Hill, Joseph T. Hansen, President of the United Food and
Commercial Workers (UFCW), said, </FONT></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT size=3><FONT face="Times New Roman">“But as currently
interpreted, the ACA would block these plans from the law’s benefits (such as
the subsidy for lower-income individuals and families) while subjecting them
to the law’s penalties (like the $63 per insured person to subsidize Big
Insurance). This creates unstoppable incentives for employers to reduce weekly
hours for workers currently on our plans and push them onto the exchanges
where many will pay higher costs for poorer insurance with a more limited
network of providers. In other words, they will be forced to change their
coverage and quite possibly their doctor. Others will be channeled into
Medicaid, where taxpayers must pick up the tab. </FONT></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT size=3><FONT face="Times New Roman">“In addition, the
ACA includes a fine for failing to cover full-time workers but includes no
such penalty for part-timers (defined as working less than 30 hours a week).
As a result, many employers are either reducing hours below 30 or
discontinuing part-time health coverage altogether. This is a cut in pay and
benefits workers simply cannot afford. For example, a worker making $10 an
hour that has his or her schedule cut by six hours a week would lose $3,100 a
year in income. With millions of workers impacted, this would have a
devastating effect on our economy.” <O></O></FONT></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT size=3><FONT face="Times New Roman">Many unions have
been working through the National Coordinating Committee for Multiemployer
Plans (NCCMP) to find a solution.<SPAN> </SPAN>In a memorandum to the
Department of Health and Human Services, the NCCMP stated:<SPAN>
</SPAN></FONT></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT size=3><FONT face="Times New Roman">“If subsidies are
available only for plans purchased through Exchanges, employers contributing
to multiemployer plans will face tremendous economic pressure to stop
contributing to multiemployer plans…. Many employers will feel the need to
drop coverage and access the subsidies to remain competitive.”<SPAN>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT size=3><FONT face="Times New Roman">On <ST1>April 16,
2013</ST1>, the United Union of roofers, Waterproofers and Allied Workers
International President Kinsey M. Robinson issued a statement calling for a
repeal or complete reform of President Obama’s Affordable Care Act
(ACA).<SPAN> </SPAN>He stated that the union has supported
President Obama for both terms in office but that the union’s concerns “over
certain provisions in the ACA have not been addressed, or in some instances,
totally ignored.”<O></O></FONT></FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=3><FONT face="Times New Roman">“In the rush to achieve its
passage, many of the Act's provisions were not fully conceived, resulting in
unintended consequences that are inconsistent with the promise that those who
were satisfied with their employer sponsored coverage could keep
it.<SPAN> </SPAN>These provisions jeopardize our multi-employer health
plans, have the potential to cause a loss of work for our members, create an
unfair bidding advantage for those contractors who do not provide health
coverage to their workers, and in the worst case, may cause our members and
their families to lose the benefits they currently enjoy as participants in
multi-employer health plans,” Robinson stated.<O></O></FONT></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT size=3 face="Times New Roman">So far there is no
adequate answer from the Obama administation to the efforts of unions to
resolve the issues.<SPAN> </SPAN>The state exchanges must be in place by
October of 2013 so that they are ready to go by <ST1>January 1,
2014</ST1>.</FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT size=3><FONT face="Times New Roman">Many of the
unions involved contend that regulations for the ACA could be written to allow
the employers that pay into these union negotiated plans to receive the same
subsidies that employers will receive in the exchanges.<SPAN> </SPAN>So
far, that has not happened.<SPAN> </SPAN><O></O></FONT></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT size=3><FONT face="Times New Roman">This is one of
many conundrums that face unions as the costs of health care in our
corporate-controlled, profit-oriented system make the maintenance of health
benefits increasingly difficult to achieve.<O></O></FONT></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT size=3><FONT face="Times New Roman">This growing
crisis underlines the need for unions to press for passage of HR 676, Expanded
and Improved Medicare for All, national single payer health
insurance.<SPAN> </SPAN>HR 676 has been reintroduced by Congressman John
Conyers (D. MI) into the 113<SUP>th</SUP> Congress and has 41
cosponsors.<SPAN> </SPAN>This real solution awaits a dynamic, massive,
in-the-streets movement that makes sound health policy also politically
feasible. </FONT></FONT><FONT size=3><FONT face="Times New Roman">Such a
solution would improve the lives of all workers by assuring that everyone has
all medically necessary care with no co-pays and no deductibles.<SPAN>
</SPAN>Even dental care and long term care are
covered.<O></O></FONT></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT size=3><FONT face="Times New Roman">Private
for-profit health insurance companies and the massive waste they cause would
be removed.<SPAN> </SPAN>Unions would free their health care from
corporate control as labor has done in other industrialized countries where
some form of publicly funded single payer care is guaranteed.<SPAN>
</SPAN>Care would be expanded and costs brought under control.<SPAN>
</SPAN>By leading this fight for universal care, unions would once again prove
that social justice can be achieved through the leadership of the nation’s
organized workers.
<SPAN> </SPAN><SPAN> </SPAN><O></O></FONT></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT size=3><FONT face="Times New Roman">With all of labor
harmed by the attacks in Wisconsin, the “right to work for less” in Michigan
and Indiana, a host of Koch-sponsored legislation in states across the
country, and the brutal assault on pensions, what better way to fight back
than to use labor’s vast grass roots mobilizing clout to promote HR
676?<SPAN> </SPAN><O></O></FONT></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT size=3 face="Times New Roman">The union movement will
grow as it leads this vital struggle.<SPAN> </SPAN>Labor has always led
progress for workers, and that progress also lifts up the nation. </FONT></P>
