>Well look at that. Unions are going to be hit by the "Cadillac tax." Guess they've been getting better health care benefits than the rest of America.

1. They did, as they said, sacrifice wages for better health insurance.

2. A lot more than just unions will be affected by this stupid tax if it comes to pass. I was talking with an HR firm about the benefits I provide my employees, and they're not considered very good. Yet with the way prices have been rising, those plans will be taxed by 2013.

It's a terrible tax, and will violate one of Obama's major campaign promises.
