After reading the links from Cheryl it's quite obvious that this law will not cost me or my employer a dime. Yawn. Enough with the hysteria.
I'm pretty sure rational people can have a rational discussion about the AHCA without calling each other names. Just sayin.

Washington Journal on C-Span does pretty well also. For being on MSNBC, Chris Hayes usually has a decent show Saturday mornings.The show "Washington Week" on Friday evening is probably the only show where rational people discuss (without yelling or confrontation) what happened during the week. They explain what happened and what it means for you and me.

You are confusing the Cadillac health plan tax with current income taxes. This is not a tax that is included when you file your 1040 every year with the IRS. This is a 40% tax that is charged to your employer if your healthcare plan is considered to be too expensive or lavish. Our healthcare plans at UPS will fall under this tax when it goes into effect in 2018. The teamsters fought hard for this President to get elected not knowing the hardships it will cause them in the long term as I don't think this has gone unnoticed by UPS management and will be brought up when contract negotiations start later this year or next.
Because it is one of those things people decided shouldnt be taxed. Kind of a deduction/exemption in a way. just like the many other tax breaks we get, ex... mortgage interest, children, physical handicaps, business losses.I have asked in other threads but haven't gotten an answer. If it is "compensation", why isn't it and why shouldn't it be taxed?
Because from what Cheryl posted, people are running around yelling "Tax, tax, tax," and yet when you get down to the reality of it all, it's really quite sane and causes very little hardship if any. Damn details.
Itll be a big damn deal when this legislation decreases your healthcare and you find yourself needing it
So Obama wants us to have Healthcare just not good healthcare? HIS healthcare. I really love my UPS insurance, it's one of the main reasons i'm with UPS. This would really suck if UPSers get screwed in this process.

But I have realized lately that this obamacare is nothing more than a redistribution of wealth. Its going to give cheap healthcare to the poor at the expense of us here at UPS paying more for health care.
I purchase my healthcare policy, thankyou very much.
And the 40% tax is on only the amount above what is considered cadillac status?
