\tMs. Sebelius did her best to dress this reinsurance program up in a public-interest blanket, but many of the 3.3 million eligible retirees are ex-union workers who extracted generous benefits from some of America’s most hardpressed industries. Businesses that doled out these unaffordable promises will be delighted with the federal handout, taxpayers less so. And also eligible are retired state and local public employees, as well as certain health-care trusts like one recently set up by the United Auto Workers, which has an estimated 30 cents in cash for every dollar of expected claims<\/b>.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nNational Right to Work president Mark Mix called<\/a> ObamaCare a "a Trojan Horse for more forced unionization" in the Journal<\/i> last September.\u00a0 Among other hidden payoffs to Big Labor, Mix noted the discretionary authority given to Sebelius and a provision to bail out insolvent union health-care plans. \u00a0\n<\/p>\n
