Subject: taxation of employee benefits

Comment: the concept of taxing employee benefits is not only a bad idea, it would spell the end to the most efficient way of providing americans healthcare. i believe you would rapidly see the number of uninsured increase. personally, i do everything i can to avoid paying tax. why would the administration lower income taxes on one hand and raise taxes on employee benefits? this would increase the cost of providing public health benefits.
