Subject: Tax on benefits especially medical Comment: This country already has 40 million uninsured or under insured people. To tax these benefits will only increase the that number. Employees are droping out of employer group medical plans because they can not affort the high premiums. As employees drop out of the plans, insurers terminate the plans because of lack of participation. This creates a cycle which will lead to more uninsured Americans. I hope someone in Washington can understand this situation and consider other alternatives. |
