re: #285 Escaped Hillbilly

God, somebody please explain this to me. Why are they taxing health care plans at all? Don’t we want people to have a health care plan, the better the plan, the better? Is this just another “stick the rich guy” scheme or am I totalling misunderstanding? I really am confused right now.

They need to pay for Healthcare reform. “Make the Rich Pay” is the first place some people go. In this case the democrats thought only ‘Fat Cats’ have Cadillac plans. When they found out they were wrong, and that a lot of Obama supporters had Cadillac plans, they had to exempt state and local government workers or workers who are part of collective bargaining agreements.

SO THEY NEED THE MONEY, but are able to throw $60 billion in tax income out and still be balanced.

When anyone says the the CBO said this was deficit neutral, they need to be asked if that was before the $60 billion was removed.
