Last week, the news broke that the Obama administration was ever-so-quietly adding a bit of crafty rulemaking to the already gigantic ObamaCare regulatory stack that would finally offer Big Labor at least one form of their highly sought-after relief from the law’s requirements (which, most unfortunately, they only belatedly realized could ruin the underlying design of their multi-employer Taft Hartley health insurance plans). Back in September, the administration at least publicly rebuffed the AFL-CIO’s list of resolutions/demands on that score (most especially the one that would make union employees eligible for ObamaCare’s subsidies), but there was apparently some wink-wink, nudge-nudge, wait-and-see hinting that went on somewhere, because the new plan the administration is working on could take unions off the hook for the new reinsurance fee — originally intended to raise $25 billion over three years to help support ObamaCare and its inherently higher-risk insurance pools.

Message from the Senate GOP in a letter they just wrote a letter to the administration (h/t to the WFB): Don’t. Even. Try it.
