Subject: Taxation of health benefits Comment: This is one of the dumber concepts to come out of the government in years. The cost of health care is going up double-digits annually, employers are paying more and being forced to shift more cost to employees. Many employees are alrady dropping their medical coverage because they can't afford it. Health care is already unafforadble to many small businesses. Taxing this benefit will only worsen an already significant problem. |
