Subject: Ending tax break on health care

Comment: I am opposed to ending the current law on the tax break for employer provided health care. The cost of health care is soring out of reach for BOTH the employer and employee. Ending the tax break will only increase the burden and is BAD policy to even consider at this time. The American public needs help with the affordability of health care, not government compounding the situation for both employers and employees by adding a tax on the benefit.
