A coalition of labor unions will announce its opposition to the Finance Committee's healthcare bill tomorrow, the AP reports.
Unions are upset that the legislation lacks a public option and would tax insurance comapnies for "Cadillac" healthcare plans. Several unions have negotiated over time to secure top notch benefits for their workers and are worried that such a tax will result in higher premiums.
The coalition will run a full page newspaper ad tomorrow stating their position. The group includes AFL-CIO and the Communication Workers of America.
The Baucus bill still has to be merged with the HELP Committee's legislation before the full Senate votes.
