Subject: Taxing Health Ins. Comment: Businesses are already having a tough time providing health insurance to their employees. If you start taxing everyone who is doing that (employees or the business) you will have even less people insured. I am paying over $2,500 yearly to cover my husband and myself just in our portion of health care that we pay to my company for the medical benefit and we are both extremely healthy (knock wood!). I sell Employee Assistance Programs and every day I talk to companies who can't buy an EAP because they have been getting massive increases in their health insurance premiums in the past several years. Many of the smaller companies have stopped providing health insurance for this very reason. |
