Any form of a socialist, government run plan will be a disaster for the country. Congress should cap the amount of money awarded in malpractice suits and lower the overall tax burden if they are truly interested in making health care more affordable. Anything else is just another power grab by socialists.

For decades the greedy Big Government politico-elites have coveted the control over the "little people of fly-over land" that healthcare would bring them. They can almost taste it.

Unfortunately for them (and fortunately for freedom), in this current round, they are finding that it is necessary to hustle before the facade of Obama cracks for all to see.

More ‘wealth redistribution’. Obama is sowing the seeds of massive resentment. Some people work harder than others, and make better choices. They shouldn't be punished for this. If they are, there will be a backlash, and in the end it will hurt the country significantly.

According to the document, Sen. Baucus is looking at four ways to tax benefits starting in 2013, when many reform proposals would take full effect:

Tax benefits of single workers who earn more than $100,000 a year and couples that earn more than $200,000. The presentation cites a previous estimate from the Congressional Joint Committee on Taxation [JCT] that the proposal would raise $161.9 billion over 10 years if the changes were effective on January 1, 2010.

Tax benefits that exceed a value of $6,182 for a single worker and a value of $15,700 for a worker who also receives coverage for his family. The document cites a previous JCT estimate that the proposal would raise $418 billion over a decade if the changes were effective January 1, 2010.

Tax those “base” benefits plus 10%, or a value of $6,800 for an individual worker and a value of $17,240 for families. The higher cap would eliminate taxes for some workers. The document says Baucus has requested an estimate, presumably from the JCT, of how much this proposal would generate in new tax revenue with the change effective January 1, 2013.

Tax base benefits plus 20%, or a value of $7,420 for an individual and a value of $18,840 for families, which would shelter even more workers from tax liability. Baucus also has requested, presumably from the JTC, an estimate for this proposal also effective January 1, 2013.

I guarantee you that almost everyone will pay more in taxes if this monstrosity passes. Guarantee it!

I read where unions members will not have to pay taxes, if paying taxes is not written into their contract, and as long as their contract is in effect. They will be exempt from paying. Doesn’t that beat all?

COULD?.....COULD?.....

we all KNOW what THAT means.

I’m sure the $8 a week Hussein’s tax cut gave us will more than cover the new taxes to pay for healthcare.

[BlessingsofLiberty]

I have a great plan....start voting these sorry pigs out of office. We need a purge in Congress....both houses.

Any health plan that they stick on us....they will be required to participate in too. You freaks like taxes so much, get ready to pay your fair share...and more.

I am sick and tired of these sorry slobs. Reap the whirlwind you soon to be loser ex-politicians.

Oh yeah, one more thing....you know all those midnight votes to raise your salaries...bye bye. We need to cut some spending and you need to do your part.
