What a colossal crock of crap
Battle #1: Taxing health benefits - Jun. 4, 2009
Quote:
For starters, tax and health experts say, it's inequitable. High-income workers and those with the most expensive health insurance plans enjoy the biggest break as a result of the tax exclusion.
Not that anyone's really aware of that, though, which is part of the problem, experts say.
Workers don't know how much their health benefits really cost because they only pay a portion of the bill. So, the theory goes, they are more likely to consume health services they don't really need, which over time helps drive up health costs.

This moron has never employed parents of special needs children and watched the constant debate with health care providers and gigantic costs of the health care plans, just makes the broad assumption 'they have more than they need'

Moreover, the tax exclusion is not available to those who don't buy insurance through an employer, which contributes to the burgeoning ranks of the roughly 46 million uninsured.

How about the owner of the company, who can't utilize their own health care corporate coverages with the ownership shares?
46M out of 330M people, oh so 8% are uninsured (use that stat LOOSELY) that would mean then that 92% are covered and doesn't allow for children or those who do not choose coverage. 92% sounds pretty damn good to me
Rant over.
