Health Care tax hikes

[briansd1]

[quote=flu][quote=briansd1]flu, you’re already doing that so the new system will not affect you. It’s cheaper for you to get the prescriptions.

For those who need OTC infrequently, it’s still cheaper for them to buy OTC.[/quote]

Um, actually the new system will affect me, because currently I pay nothing for health care with my pre-existing condition. Like I said, I am on a medical plan for which I pay nothing in deductibles, no payroll deduction, and the only thing I pay are drug copays of $5/$15. Of course, most likely these things are going away, because they are considered an “Caddy plan”.[/quote]

Not being to buy OTC medication on your flexible spending plan does not affect you. You already choose the prescriptions over the OTC meds.

You may need to pay income tax on the caddy plan, as you should, in my opinion. It’s part of your compensation so why should it be untaxed?

That would encourage employers to pay higher salaries to employees who don’t need caddy plans like you do.

We should have a system where everyone can pay with pre-tax money for OTC medication or no one can.

Prilosec is $17 for 42 days on Amazon. Unless you are in 95% income tax bracket, there is no way that it would be cheaper buying the prescription version.

I supported a lifetime/transferable health savings account with no strings attached. But like I said, it doesn’t fly because a majority of Americans have no concept of “saving”…
