small correction- Seems to me the quality of Health Care for my family IS ABOUT TO GO DOWN and the cost is about to go up.

When you really think about it, expensive health care plans are a benefit some enjoy which is worth money. Those of us who don't enjoy such plans are, in essence, paid less. Therefore, considering the "Cadillac" plans "income" is not unreasonable.
People enjoying the benefits of "Cadillac plans" are earning their incomes plus the cost of those plans and requiring them to pay tax on the amount over the basic plans enjoyed by most of us really ends up being fair, whether or not organized labor, federal employees or anyone else agrees with me or not. It's simply a fact.

The point is Danni I do NOT have a Cadillac Plan. If I use my plan my copays ave already gone up and the coverage down. I have to pay a lot of out pf pocket expenses (thousands of dollars) to get the care my family needs.

In addition, a good health care plan is a benefit of the job. I don't get a huge salary and I have little chance of making a fortune doing what I do. I do get job security and good benefits in exchange.

Health Care reform was supposed to make health care more affordable and more available. This looks like it will do just the opposite for hundreds of thousands of hard working Americans who cannot afford to take another hit on their finances this year.

Taxing healthcare to pay for healthcare is nothing more than a re-distribution of wealth. One of Obama's campaign promises he plans on keeping.

Obama also mocked McCain for proposing this. He promised he wouldn't do this.

"Obama also mocked McCain for proposing this. He promised he wouldn't do this."

So...let me guess. When McCain proposed it, you were all for it, but now that a guy with a (D) after his name has done the same, you're foursquare against it. Right?
