news this month is likely to be dominated by health insurance and reform of health care that the House of representatives and the Senate of the United States attempts to merge their now approved versions of the legislation.
Although there are differences between the bills the Senate and House that would arouse heated debate, all eyes are now on the tax "Cadillac". This proposed tax, supported by President Obama, would put a 40 percent tax on individual insurance private health market that costs more than $ 8,500 for singles and $ 23,000 for families.
Of course, when someone says the word "tax", it is almost certain to take the political heat.
For the President and other supporters of the Cadillac tax, they take heat from both sides of the aisle.
On the right, it is a fairly easy target. The Liberals are tax and spenders who want to put us in more debt than the grandchildren of our grandchildren can pay. The right is also quick to point out that President Obama has promised not to impose an American who earns less than $ 250,000 per year, which can be broken with this tax.
The left does not like the idea of the tax, either. If passed, the Cadillac tax would likely have health insurance plans sponsored by the union struck the country.
So obviously nobody really wants to pay more taxes, but many people want health care reform. As we have already said ... Ah, health care policy.
Does this provision simply get dropped or it will mean the shocking disappearance of the bill?
