Subject: Taxing Employer Paid Health Benefits

Comment: I am highly opposed to this proposal. I work in the benefits department of a large corporation. Many employees already struggle to pay their designated portion of medical benefits. Some who can't afford the cost choose to waive coverage. By taxing employees on the employer paid portion of benefits would be a double hit, something that many employees cannot afford. This is a BAD idea, please discard it for good.
