Republicans warn administration on Obamacare 'fix' for unions

Twenty-one Senate Republicans signed a letter to the Office of Management and Budget Director Sylvia Burwell demanding that she “not authorize the release of any regulations” that would extend subsidies not currently available under Obamacare to union-managed multi-employer health insurance plans, also known as “Taft-Hartley” plans.

The GOP lawmakers said that, while President Obama has ruled out providing the subsidy through IRS rule-making, he has “left the door open for the Department of Labor to issue a regulation favoring labor unions.”
