Health bill will tax state workers by 40%
Posted: Mar 24, 2010
THIS BOTHERS ME. You go to college, you get a job making 60,000 a year. Your employer happens to have excellent medical coverage and now I will be taxed 40%? So it will cause the employer to go to a crapy coverage which includes my coverage?

The other major tax increase hits the most generous health plans. Those don't apply just to upper-income people. State employees and other union workers have won excellent health coverage in recent years rather than big pay increases.
Starting in 2018, family insurance plans valued at more than $27,500 will pay a 40% tax above that level.
The goal is for employers to reduce the "Cadillac" benefits, rather than pay the tax.

Is the cost of your health insurance over $27,500 a year? nm - oldtimer

[ In Reply To ..]So, 10 commandments and 3 of them state perfectly clear below:
1. Thou shalt not kill. (Abortion)
2. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, goods.
3. Though shalt not steal.
Isn't that we are doing with this Obamacare?
Heard this on Glenn Beck last night about the commandments.
I say look out for God's wrath. Also watching very closely with what is going on with Israel. Did you know that Biden was mad and trying to tell Israel what they can build and where? You do not see us doing that with England or China. I know it was to keep peace in the region, but really. Biden was mad and purposely shows up to Israel's prime minister's house for dinner 90 minutes late and then condemns him in his own home.

It's called income redistribution - LK
[ In Reply To ..]Remember that song from the early 70's, "I'd Love to Change the World" by Ten Years After? The lyrics "Tax the rich, feed the poor, till there are no rich no more" pretty much sum it up. Take from the "rich", give to the poor, so we can all be "equal." Unfortunately, those making 60 or 80K a year are not particularly rich! The Obama philosophy is one of taking from those who produce and giving to those who can't or won't produce. Read Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand if you haven't already. She predicted this decades ago.
Why don't they redistribute their own wealth? - Anony
[ In Reply To ..]N/M
They are VERY rich, so . . . - LK
[ In Reply To ..]Their income WILL be redistributed to some extent. The difference is that about 3/4 of the House and Senate members have fortunes in the millions of dollars, and so "giving" a bit of to the poor is not going to affect their way of living at all. It's those of us in the middle that will really feel the impact. I have busted my butt all my life to be a responsible citizen, get a college education, and send my children to college. I am too "affluent" (HA!) to get any handouts, yet not affluent enough to afford anything but the bare bones. I'm very worried about my retirement from our bankrupt Social Security system, and I have saved my whole working life to try to provide some sort of retirement for myself and have lived a simple, frugal life to be able to afford to save. If the government takes more from me, I will definitely feel it.
And the reason they got that way is ironic - lobbyist love
[ In Reply To ..]When you consider that everyone who got "rich" in Washington got that way primarily from letting their votes be bought by the health insurance giants and pharmaceutical companies, the "redistribution" becomes quite a joke. How many middlemen do we need in health insurance, and why have we allowed our legislators to be part of it?
They were rich before they got there - LK
[ In Reply To ..]You're right, of course, they've had their pockets lined with all kinds of bribes, not just the health care firms and pharmaceuticals, though. But they were rich before they even got to Washington - in politics these days, you can't really mount a successful campaign without a fair amount of personal assets. It's expensive to get elected. It's just the way it is. I do feel that politicians on both sides are out of touch with the majority of the middle class, because they are not part of it. That includes Obama, as well - he and Michelle are worth well over a million dollars. Good for them, but I don't think that their share of redistribution is going to hurt their lifestyle in any way, although it will almost certainly hurt mine. Basically, our political system stinks. Republicans and Democrats alike, they're all playing the same game. Not sure what the solution is, really.
