Those of us, who currently pay the most for our own health insurance, are going to see increases in taxes on our policies.

You were playing by the rules. Now they are changing the rules and you lose.

I know, it's madness, this is further proof that the government will try to shove in a public option. It is obvious to everyone that the current bill is crap. (i'm 20, when I turn 21, i have to provide for my own healthcare, but since I'm a full time college student, that's not possible, i guess it's off to jail I go!)

The key words are,"raising the tax"! That's all the dems care about,it's not about health care silly!
4 :
Join a Union and do manual labor or become a teacher. Their Caddilac plans got carve-outs. Nothing will change for them. Nothing at all.
5 :
Very. That's what the original government-backed insurance was going to do; force people to take their plan, as it costs too much for private insurers to give quality coverage for such a high price. My, Democrats sure do know how to work their ways to their advantage. I implore you to watch the public plan make a comeback with more of their bribery.
6 :
its not about what you want or what you think is good insurance prices for premiums. The gov't decides what is a decent price not only for premiums but soon on wages,housing,which cars to own, how much electricity to use, etc.........if he had the majority of americans in mind he would throw out this bill and start from scratch and actually take time in making a worthy bill that we can all read. maybe 500 pages tops.

It doesn't. Liberals can't stand to see anyone succeed. They will drag the producers down to their level.
8 :
They want to take the good insurance people work their butts of for away so they can give poor health insurance to everybody.It is a cont role issue.The people who are too stupid or lazy are crying about people like me who are not rich but work hard for good insurance.Why is the government punishing me because of the vapid people who call them-self liberals

Health plans costing $8,400 a year ($700/month) are usually provided by employers to management employees, not hourly employees. Employers will be taxed for these plans, not the highly compensated employees. it will not force rthem to give management personnel cheaper health coverage, it is a recruiting tool like bonuses.

thats bad, but not as bad as no insurance alot of people and .fu.. insurance companys.
11 :
the only winners there are going to be are the government bureaucrats, and they cheat while we try to play by the rules and get punished for it. how fair is it that when we follow the rules the government changes we get punished? how is it fair that when we do good we get punished for the government's reckless behavior and they tell us we need to do some good while they continue their hypocritical agendas?

I just can't get over the Nebraska part of this latest and greatest bill.... This just shows how they will do anything to shove something down the peoples throats. How in the hell do they think they are going to get away with letting Nebraska be the only state tax exempt on this Health Care Bill?????!!!!!!

Tricky question to answer, but I'll try. Nothing about the current version of the health insurance lobbyists' health care "reform" act is meant to make quality health care affordable for anyone. While the taxes on your policy are being increased poor and working class people who can't afford insurance will be forced to buy it anyway, and it won't cover them when they need it. There is no such thing as good insurance of any kind. All insurance is a legalized, government sanctioned protection racket. I know! I'll take my money and give it to someone I don't know to hold for me until I need it for an emergency. I'm sure he won't take my money and buy himself a new swimming pool with it. How retarded is that? Any heath care "reform" act that passes this time around will only make the rich richer and the poor poorer or dead. If our species, not to mention our planet, are to survive long term the current Dark Ages, global plutocracy and capitalism itself must be brought down.

Tax is to provide incentives for insurers to find better ways of lowering the cost of health insurance. If you are subject to this tax, you are paying for insurance that is almost twice as costly as the average insurance. This website explains it well. http://voices.washingtonpost.com/ezra-klein/2009/10/explaining_the_excise_tax.html
