Subject: Tax on health care benefits

Comment: As an insurance broker, I am shocked ANY consideration would be given to taxing employees for their company provided healthcare. I see everyday, the struggle Americans are having with the cost of their medical coverage. Why do you want to penalize the American taxpayer? This will drive up the number of uninsureds which will exacerbate an already problematic issue. Please drop this consideration. Thank you, Lou Smith
