Coupe Deval Patrick, the far leftist best friend to the Messiah, is doing something quite similar in the people's republic of MA. He has filed legislation which will force municipalities and unions to drop their cadillac insurance coverage for a state coordinated plan called GIC (no this is not socialized medicine, this is just a rate he negotiated with a handful of carriers to offer plans to municipalities at a greatly reduced rate).
Unions are losing their minds as they will get nothing in return for the move. Quite the non-union move, but he has to throw the cities/towns a bone, although they are drooling for sure for what Wisconsin is going to pass tomorrow.
