If we must have an income tax, I see no reason to exempt certain forms of income. The tax favoritism for health insurance benefits creates a foolish over consumption, misallocation of resources, and inflated prices.

If an employer gave you unlimited free ice cream, don’t you think many employees might eat a bit more than was sensible?

I do not see why giving more money to the government would solve it though. You have the same benefit, you have to pay tax on it, you might as well use it. Its not like you will have a bunch of new choices, you will have the same insurance minus how much more of your income goes to the government.

I suspect you are a small business owner, and I empathize with your situation, but I do not see how taxing the snot out of people who have insurance through work helps you.
