Last I heard even though Obama wasn’t proposing to tax your health care benefits taxing them wasn’t off the table and he wasn’t going to oppose it either. The benefit is what candidate Obama refer to as “the largest tax middle-class tax increase in history.” Of course it’s going to pass the gov is in desperate need of a new source of revenue.[/quote]

Obama wants to tax Cadillac plans… luxury medical plans for executives.

I don’t see a problem with taxing medical benefits. They are part of compensation so they should be taxed like salary. Makes sense to me.[/quote]

Oh please, did you even read the fine print in what obama considered the Cadillac plans when it was originally written? Why did the unions oppose these taxes? Because a lot of those plans from those unions were considered cadillac plans. In fact a lot of employer sponsored plans would end up being cadillac plans. They are NOT just taxes on executives. It’s all a ruse. The bulk of the taxes are and will always be paid for by the upper middle class. Always has/always will.

Do you really think that someone like Steve Jobs, despite his cancer, really *needs* medical insurance?
