Do you have one of those Cadillac insurance plans the democrats want to tax? Me neither. In fact, not too many Americans can afford the kind of plan we provide to federal employees. A few Democrats want to make sure federal employees not only keep their Cadillac health plans, but also be exempt from any tax Congress may impose on those plans.
The Washington Examiner reports:
Reps. Jerry Connolly and Jim Moran, two Democrats from the federal employee haven of Northern Virginia, sent a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., expressing concern that the Senate health care proposal, which includes the tax, “may adversely affect health coverage for federal employees and retirees.”
Connolly and Moran explain in the letter that the Congressional Research Services has provided them with data indicating that the cost of Federal Employees Health Benefits Plans used by federal employees is close to the threshold ($8,000 per individual and $21,000 per family) that would trigger the proposed 40 percent excise tax.
“Throughout this year, we and members of the Administration have assured the public, including 2 million federal employees, that if individuals or families like their current health coverage, they will not have to change,” the letter said. “The current proposal from the Senate Finance Committee could undermine that tenet of health insurance reform.”
They may as well scrap the idea of taxing these plans altogether. By the time they’re finished excluding key supporters like unions there won’t be anyone left to tax.
Good morning Boys and Girls.
