No Sh*t Sherlock! I for one don't scrimp on health care - why should I?
Trying to drive the sheeple to the Obama’s Universal Health plan.
“A senior Senate Democrat said Tuesday he would consider taxing U.S. workers on their employer-sponsored health insurance to help pay for extending coverage to millions of uninsured Americans.”
Remember when 0bama and the MSM lambasted McCain’s health care plans because it included a tax on health care benefits?
Don’t look for the same level of outrage anytime soon.
The effect of this will be to have employers reduce the benefit and charge the workers its full cost. No increased tax will come to the government.
Will health plans of unionized workers be taxed?
Would Congress members and FedGov workers plans get taxed also?
I think I know the answer already.
“If ya walk too much they’ll tax your feet”.
Time to overthrow this govt.?
Oppressive taxation is as good a reason as any.
Asmoreemployersdon ot cover their employees because ofalready skyrocketing costs and other Government taxes thismoron wants tocauseMORE people to lose healthcare coverage.
Is it something in the DNA with liberals? Is it a mental disease?
Remember during the campaign it was Obama who kept saying the McCain plan would tax health benefits? That was a scare tactic. Now if you have it, he taxes it.
This is the same idea as the carbon tax on utilities where the money would be used to pay utilities for some. I see a trend.
They’re probably going to tax it on both sides, employer and employee...so this is a tax increase for “average” income folks and for small business. Most small business owners would probably quit offering it if it doesn’t yield tax benefits. Larger businesses would pass on the tax increase to the employee in the form of less contribution to the plan...so the employee will lose twice, once on increase in taxes, and another on having to pay a greater percentage of your benefits.
Yeah, but 95% of Americans will get a tax break, right? LOL.
