Thats interesting because according to the CBO the average single policy will cost 12,000.00 and the family will pay 15,750.00. So the single person will have to pay the tax
because the Govmt or the Insurance Co. says the policy will be over 10K. The logic of this whole fiasco boggles the mind .
Obviously, Waxman is incensed because this seems to put the lie to the promise that if you like your current plan, nothing will change. But this was never true. Medicare Advantage beneficiaries are basically going to see their generous benefits slashed, retiree drug benefits suddenly cost more and may now be discontinued, and ultimately, more than a few employers will almost certainly find it cheaper to shut down their plans. If Congress didn't want those things to happen, it should have passed a different law.
