This Act mandated the creation of the Universal Service Fund which taxes everyone with phone service! The ACA is full of mandates to create revenue streams to pay for it that can and WILL be abused by government officials.
Folks this is why I am against this type of massive legislation! If it takes thousands of new federal workers to implement and an army of attorneys and bureaucrats to administer then it does not belong in a nearly bankrupt nation..

Your mistake is thinking that today's Democratic Party is the same as yesteryears. It is not. The Democratic Party is no longer for the working man.
The reason Republicans target UNIONS so hard is because UNIONS are funding the Democratic Party. Busting UNIONS is simply a means to an end for them to defund the Left. UNIONS brought that on themselves when they started funding the Democratic Party with membership dues.
I have said it time and time again. UNIONS have no business funding politicians with membership dues. I do not give TWU money so they can fund political agendas. I give them dues to protect my pay, benefits, and working conditions and they have done a lousy job.
The last time I checked we were both members of a UNION also. The difference is I am laid off because my so called UNION threw our shop under the bus and you’re working for less than ever because your UNION threw your craft under the bus.
TWU has failed us both.
Our union leaders should have to disclose their salary/compensation annually ..... Of the top 10 riches lawmaker in Washington, 7 are Demarcates....... CEO's have pocketed your retirement healthcare, and you now have to work until you qualify for medicare...... Politicians in Washington are spending your Social Security and Medicare money on free Obama phones, and food stamps to buy votes..... this country is screwed and we voted them in.

Completely unrelated to my post.
Not a huge fan of ACA but it is a step in the right direction. My hope is that it will lead to a single payer system as many other nations have. Profit and health care do not mix. I would prefer to see the government set regulations and have the health care system go non-profit. No one should be making money off of people illnesses.

Repeating it over and over again does not make it true no matter how bad you want it.
Yea, with have of us paying and the other half free loading.
Every penny a union spends including the salaries and expenses are published annually by every union to the Department of Labor under the Labor-Management Reporting Disclosure Act. Every LM-2 is available online.
Can you say the same about a corporation?
Nope you cant.

Shhhh. They don't realize we already pay for the uninsured, and the ACA will get those uninsured to pay more of their share...

Your post was deflecting blame to a law NOT implemented by the administration and I simply pointed out how this type of legislation can morph into whatever the powers that be want it to do. The cell phone was an expansion of the existing program and by state basis. Expansion
So you have read and understand where these steps will take us as a Nation?
You mean other nations like Greece?
Profit and Health care may not mix but they are intertwined! The only difference is some people prefer the Government profit and some the private sector. I'll take the private sector!
Sure they will set regulations to gain more power over all Citizens of the U.S.... And you believe that all doctors,nurses,researchers and the companies that hire them should do these services pro bono? Nothing you post makes any sense to me.
You are correct when you say the TWU has failed us both. They gave away your job and they gave away my retirement. I think we can also agree that the Democratic party is concerned for the non-working man. I will not dispute that at all. What I am saying is that the GOP has been taken over by a bunch of Nazis. Their "My way or the highway" way of doing things is causing great hardship for us all. This group is there to make the rich even richer. Why should Mitt Romney pay 14% taxes on his income while we pay more than double that? This is what they do. The Democrats are equally worthless, but at least they want the Romneys of the country to pay their fair share of taxes. Trust fund kids don't work, they don't create jobs and they don't improve the economy. So why should they get a huge break on their investment income? I am sick and tired of when it comes time to vote I find myself voting against someone instead of for someone else. The GOP tells us how patriotic they are while they send our young men and women to war and then cut funding for their medical and mental health care when they come home. They want to force women to have babies and then deny them any kind of financial or medical aid when she delivers. They export jobs overseas to foreign countries where they use slave labor to produce their products. Yeah the Dems throw money at people who don't want to work and they have all kinds of ideas on how to spend money, but they seem to have more moderates in their midst than the GOP. People like Ted Cruz and Canter will destroy this country. We need the government to provide certain things and these guys don't want to spend our money on them. They don't care about roads or any infrastructure at all. They want more tax cuts for their rich benefactors and luxurious pensions for themselves while they deny government workers and police and firemen their pensions. There needs to be a balance of power and they need to work together to come to agreements that are somewhere in the middle of what they both want. Like it or not, the majority of the American people voted against the GOP and they do not want their teaparty agenda. The teaparty is trying to force their agenda on us anyway. This is against our constitution and our whole way of life. If you were on the other side of the fence you would not like it. What if a few Hispanic congressman took over the house and threatened to hold up the government unless we all started speaking Spanish? Would you like that? This is kind of what Cruz and Canter and the other Nazis are doing. Wrong is wrong. Now this back and forth on this subject is actually a good thing. We can post our differences and not be afraid of any kind of retribution by our government. But at the end of the day we are all Americans and we love our country. I respect your opinion and I understand how unhappy you are with our president. I am unhappy with him too. But I am also unhappy with our whole congress. They have chosen their parties over the well being of the American people. Both parties need a complete purge.
