VI included in Health Care Bill

I guess free cheese is better than no cheese,watch out for the mold !!!

chockman, im not asking for free cheese. and i doubt most honest working people are asking for free cheese either.

I know your not ! I think you will see the quality of your health drasticaly reduced,but yes something is better nothing. I 'll still be paying for mine as well . I just wonder what my money will buy me in the future ?

When my wife had a day care business back in the '80's the business qualified for that "free" government cheese. After the second lot she decided that the cheese was not worth the paperwork. So much for government hand outs.

Bassman,all I can say is ,you got that one correct.

bassman, funny but probably true

This says it all.

How very wise he is! The problem we now have is the "people" against the government. One side or the other has to lose. Hmmm.

i was wrong about this. it is NOT true!

Health Care Law and W-2 Forms
May 26, 2010

Q: Does the new health care law require workers to pay income tax on the value of employer-provided health insurance?

A: No. The value will appear on employees’ W-2 forms for information purposes, but will not be considered taxable income.

Sometimes the insurance will be taxed, but the employee still doesn't pay the tax.

From http://www.snopes.com/politics/taxes/hr3590.asp :

[This affects] so-called high-level "Cadillac" health care plans that some employees receive through their employers.

In general, beginning in 2013..., H.R. 3590 imposes a 40% excise tax on the value of employer-sponsored medical insurance that exceeds a given threshold (initially $23,000 annually). This excise tax would be paid by the insurance company, not the employee, and is expected to affect less than 10% of families covered by health insurance.

you did me one better stxbob! gotta love the information age! thanks so much!!!

"The employee doesn't pay a tax."

To that I say "(Stuff) rolls down hill." Kind of like saying the employee only pays 6.8% of Social Security and not 13.6 since the "Employer" pays the other half. Except if the employer didn't have to pay that to the government they'd be able to pay it to the employee. In the end the end consumer or producer pays and that is us as individuals.
