  • Unions Working to Buy Another Government Agency

    The unions have bought just about every politician and political office they can--from the Governor and Senator down to water boards--own government and contracts for members are not a problem.

    Amazingly, they have left the Insurance Commissioners office alone--until now.

    "The campaigns for insurance commissioner are viewed as high-stakes fights between insurance-industry backed Republican candidates on one side and trial lawyer-backed Democratic contenders on the other.

    But in increasing numbers, a new player is emerging on the field: labor unions.

    In part, thats because the insurance commissioner could be playing a larger role as the federal health-care reform program unfolds in California. Also, labor groups see health care benefits as a collective bargaining issue a position that potentially could conflict with the soon-to-be-created Health Insurance Exchanges and want a powerful ally in the commissioners office. The so-called HIEs, part of the federal health care reform effort, would set up a government-run marketplace in which millions of people could purchase coverage. Health care reform advocates lauded the creation of the HIEs."

    Government health care means the unions need to protect themselves. therefore they are closing escrow on another political office, Insurance Commissioner. Closing date for this escrow is November 2.
