    Taxing health benefits isn't a bad thing -- if it's done right | 18 comments (18 topical, 0 hidden)
    Actually... (none / 0) (#7)
    by MI Health Facts on Tue Jun 30, 2009 at 03:05:49 PM EST
    Taxing employer-provided health benefits the same way that we would tax health benefits that someone buys on their own is hardly socialism - in fact, it would bring us closer to the incentives originally created by the market and helps to solve the bias that's created by the existing tax structure. Plenty of free market advocates would like to see a return to equal treatment for all health plans.

    What the elimination of tax exemption for employer-provided plans would fund - if anything - is an income tax cut to try to leave employees in the same (or better, with a bigger income tax cut) financial position - it should not fund more meddling by government in health care.
