NY Times: Administration Rejects Union Pleas on Health Law
WASHINGTON — The federal government on Friday rejected pleas from labor unions for a dispensation from President Obama’s health care law.
The decision, likely to infuriate some of Mr. Obama’s closest political allies, denies federal tax credits to workers who receive health coverage under employee benefit plans sponsored by more than one employer. Such plans are common in construction and other industries.
Under the 2010 health care law, the tax credits will be available starting next year to low- and moderate-income people who buy private insurance in state-based marketplaces known as exchanges. The administration’s decision was made by the Treasury Department, but almost surely approved by the president.
The Treasury said its conclusion resulted from a straightforward reading of the 2010 health care law, which says that workers are not eligible for premium tax credits if they have been offered affordable coverage under an employer-sponsored plan that provides minimum value.

Oh, by the way, when I was googling for this story, I found that Fox News had an article titled "Republicans move to halt ObamaCare 'bailout' for angry unions".
