Subject: Benefits Health Tax

Comment: Employees and employers are struggling with health care costs as it is. Placing a tax on health benefits will only make a bad situation worse and makes no sense at all.

Here's a thought. Let's make all elected officals pay for their health plan coverage and require them to go to an HMO. When they leave office they can get Cobra just like the rest of us.
