I can hear the Unions screaming now. When you are paying $750-1500 per month for HI, how can that not be income? Since they shot down his attorney bill, may as well attack the other side.

you'll see - government employees, teachers, etc - who receive health benefits as part of their compensation, will be exempt from this somehow. either they will fall below the exemption limit (7500 single, 15000 family), or will just be excluded.
