Here's the deal folks. It's better for you as an employee to have the right to deduct the cost of getting your own insurance. The company that you work for should not have this right solely. THIS IS GOOD NOT BAD. This way, an individual can get a Health Savings Account and deduct its cost. Why should the employer be the only one with this benefit? HSAs are GOOD, because they will help us keep health care costs down and you get to keep the cash that you do not use. They are proven.
Granted, if you don't get the insurance, you don't get the tax break. That's no big deal, because you weren't getting it before.
You can take this insurance with you wherever you work. It is transportable. It is yours. There are tons of benefits.
that part of the plan is fine, the new tax is not.
