The United Union of Roofers, Waterproofers and Allied Workers yesterday became the first union to reverse its support for Obamacare. It once backed the Affordable Care Act and campaigned vigorously for Obama in 2008 and 2012, but growing concerns over the cost and availability of insurance under ACA have lead the union to call for the law’s repeal. WSJ:

 

“After the law was passed, I had great hope…that maybe the rough spots would be worked out and we’d have a great law,” said Kinsey Robinson, international president of the union, which represents 22,000 commercial and industrial roofers. [...]

 

Over time, Mr. Robinson says, his optimism that regulators or lawmakers would address the union’s concerns diminished. “I don’t think they are going to get fixed,” he said.

The roofers’ union dramatic reversal points to the problems with the pass first, ask questions later approach to the law’s passage. Now that people are starting to ask questions, they aren’t liking the answers. If other unions follow the roofers’ lead, the Democratic Party could have a very rough few years ahead of it.

 

 

 

Oh if only someone had warned that this was not the answer to a maidens prayer...Oh Wait!!
