That sounds very very good! What is it that was on Hannity - I know he does not get things right sometimes - re: INCREASING taxes on those whose healthcare plan costs more than $15,000 per year? counting that benefit as taxable income?
Right now - and he didn't discuss this in the speech - the idea as I understand it is to make health insurance benefits over $15,000 a year paid for by an employer a taxable benefit, while offering this tax deduction.
The goal isn't to "raise taxes" - the goal is to get people to buy their insurance on the private market. The whole present system was set up to incent people into giant insurance pools, which raises costs and, ultimately, would make the implementation of socialized medicine a lot easier.
the health care proposal is bad, and its dead on arrival. only 27 million americans buy their plans privately - if they need a tax credit, give them one. 150+ million americans get their healthcare through their employer, just leave them alone. when you tax something, you get less of it. we don't need to be taxing employer provided health benefits - we don't want less of that, we want more of it.
the reason why the US doesn't already have a government run healthcare system like the rest of the western world, is because americans have been able to obtain private healthcare coverage through their employers.
