In Zeev's Honor, Plan the Trade and Trade the Plan

[Taxmantoo]

Yep, union members are exempt from 40% excise on "Cadillac" health insurance, but only until 2018. Apparently the aim wasn't to grant privileges and immunities to DNC supporting unions, but only to give them time to let their contracts expire before negotiating for lesser health insurance (which is still going to piss off certain union groups like the Michigan Education Association, which owns its own ridiculously overpriced insurance company that union negotiators always demand schools buy insurance from).
