And the GOP will probably be along for the ride.

I think a 25% tax on employer provided health care would be the thing that would make my liberal friends angry, finally. That would hit most of them in the pocketbook (and most of them, while liberal, will not take kindly to THEIR income being slashed). At least that’s what I predict.

Does obama intend to impose htis new tax by Executive Order (like chavez in Venezuela) - or have it rubber stamped by the “socialist dems” that pretend to serve as the people’s elected representatives?

Inquiring minds want to know

That might be true, but are they adult enough to admit that they have been had?

I'll wager they blame George W. Bush for it.

I’m glad I make less than 250k so I won’t be affected. /s

Depending on the coverage that could be anywhere from $1,000 to $3,500 in TAX.

Yeah, that will get the economy going.

So, does this encourage employers to drop their employee health insurance?

I saw that...the BOZO had not one detail regarding the plan. These droids are legion amongst this regime. They seem to be video produced x-men and x-women that appear, get shot down, and reappear over and over.....BizzarroBozoWorld...

And I believe you predict correctly.

Hmm a 25% tax to pay for the “free” healthcare while you still pay, no you pay MORE for your healthcare.

There has to come a point where people at least peacefully revolt.

No, why would it?
