At Townhall.com, Ben Shapiro writes and then provides some very believable answers:
"Unions spent hundreds of millions of dollars supporting candidate Obama's run for the White House. And, not coincidentally, unions have been the biggest supporters of President Obama's call for a 'public option,' where the taxpayer money would be seized by the government in order to pay for health care coverage. On the surface, this makes no sense -- after all, union members have notoriously excellent health care coverage due to their collective bargaining power.

So why would the unions back a 'public option' in health care?"
