Subject: Proposed Tax on Health Benefits for Employees

Comment: This is an absurd idea. Finally we have a mechanism for individuals to save for health expenses through Health Savings Accounts and now you want to tax us on the premiums, too? Go back to the drawing board on this one. It is too hard to pay for my share of our company benefits now due to the exhorbitant prices, let alone being taxed on them too!
