The U.S. Senate proposal to impose taxes for the first time on “gold-plated” health plans may bypass generous employee benefits negotiated by unions.
The exception, which could make the proposal more politically palatable to Democrats from heavily unionized states such as Michigan, is adding controversy to an already contentious debate. It would shield the 12.4 percent of American workers who belong to unions from being taxed while exposing some other middle-income workers to the levy.
There are certain groups that will not be TAXED under Obama universal health care. Obama wants us to pay for it so that others don't have to. Is it great?
Yes, it pays to be a UNION member !

He's paying back the unions for their support and buying it for the future. They're hiding behind the contract that doesn't tax health care payments - but that's too bad, he's changing the rules for the rest of us and was happy to break the contracts when buying GM and Chrysler. If this happens he's going to piss off a lot of middle class people.
It's not only unethical, it's blatant favoritism. "IF" this happens, Obama will not only have broken his PROMISE not to increase taxes on those making less than $250K, he will have gone against his word on fairness and transparency.

Just wait until your energy bills, along with additional general inflation, go up due due Cap & Tax.
I saw this earlier today, but haven't been able to read up enough yet. If it's what I think it is, and it might not be, it's outrageous. If this is "change we can believe in", then we're in for some serious trouble moving forward. Does anyone in the Obama camp understand basic math, and economics? What are they trying to do in Washington? The policies being both passed, and attempted, are mind boggling. They are going to squeeze the middle class in ways we've never seen. This country is going to become like Italy is. There won't be a genuine middle class. There will only be the rich, a general working class, and the leaches. The people who will be worse off, the suckers, will be the general working class, that's getting hosed in the you know what. This is really mind boggling. Cap and trade, Amnesty, gubmit healthcare, bailouts, tax exempted unions, bailouts....we're screwed.

"The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of doubt, what is laid before him." Leo Tolstoy, 1897
They are econimic fasicst, not hard to understand.

The president who so many hoped would save us with "change you can believe in" is destined to go down in history as the worst president ever, the one who's policies the country will never be able to recover from. obaba = the end of the U.S. as we know it.

He's 5 or 6 months into his first term, so worst ever not something I can't subscribe to. I said it with GW, and I'll say it here, that a president can't be judged until his tenure has passed, and his policies have had time to be properly judged. Still though, I get your basic point, and that is about how our current path is not a good one. I have to say, I'm not thrilled with what's going on, and I never expected to be. I told people he wasn't a pragmatist, nor a moderate, and that he is a liberal. It reminded me of being told how bush was a "conservative", and then wondering where the fiscal insanity was coming from. Well, he's wasn't a conservative. Certainly not a fiscal one. With Obama, I heard how he is a pragmatist, and a moderate. Not a chance.
