Encouraging Bad Health Plans

And now more growing talk and support for the Cadillac Plan Tax. Now this tax would hit any one with a good health care plan from their employer. Instead of giving rewards to those who offer the best health care plans, to push for better health plans for employees, they're going to tax those who give the best plans.

So now, if i am an employer, and i offer the top of the line, top of the liner health care for my employees, and then if this cadillac tax is passed, i get taxed for that. I get punished for providing my employees with good health care. I thought this was about giving good quality health care to people. Not causing businesses to stop giving good health plans, which is what this will do.

Let me tell you what the real plan is. It is, as i have explained before, it's a government take over. So this tax will reduce the care given from businesses, which in some cases will cause some to lose their employer provided care. Next they then go onto the public option. Then private places will not cover as many people, so they will be getting more care via public option, which creates a slow and steady pace to put more people on the dole and remove them from the private business care.

This is not the only step but it is certainly a step towards driving out private, employer provided health care.
