You shouldn't' have sympathy for the union bureaucracy, which does everything it can against its own members and FOR private healthcare. But you should sympathize with those members who want you,too, to have good health coverage.

The problem is that your personal opinions don't pay my multi-thousand dollar deductible for which I'm paying as a taxpayer for you not to have.

Healthcare costs have increased beyond inflation. The taxpayers shouldn't be on the hook for paying that for you when we have our own increased healthcare costs to pay for. You don't deserve better than the taxpayers who pay your salaries.

I'm going to flip that around on you. You as a taxpayer don't deserve less than I, a public-sector union worker. You should have a union too and neither of our unions should have to fight for healthcare.

For the record though, I pay just as much of my salary as you do. We live here, we pay taxes too.
