Democrats May Tax Insurance Benefits After All
One of the biggest debates in the recent election was that of health insurance, with Obama attacking McCain for his proposal to tax health insurance benefits for the first time. Ironically, Democrats may now be looking at doing the same thing, elbeit in a less dramatic fashion than McCain proposed. Obama is looking at potentailly taxing those in higher tax brackets with more generous benefits in order to pay for the coverages of those in lower income classes. There is also talk of potentially limiting benefits. How do you think these issues will affect America’s opinions towards Obama? Will he be able to pull off the reforms he proposed, or will everything change now that he’s actually won the election?
