Taxing health benefits isn't a bad thing -- if it's done rightBy MI Health Facts, Section News
The Lansing State Journal reports on proposals to tax health care benefits provided by employers.
Although Americans are generally opposed to taxing health benefits, according to the article, they also seem to be opposed to having to rely on employer-provided health coverage. President Obama has made it clear that his administration also favors individual coverage that doesn't depend on employment to reduce the number of uninsured in America.
Leveling the playing field between employer-provided health care and individual plans is a good thing, but only if it's done right. Simultaneous tax breaks should ensure that Americans' checkbooks aren't left any worse off by a policy designed to help increase insurance. Cross-posted to MI Health Facts.
