A tax on high end health insurance plans - unless...

... unless you're in a UNION (shocker - not...) or a state or city worker. No paybacks to the unions who helped get him elected, huh??? Here's the details - http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/34859430/ns/politics-health_care_reform But to make a huge point, the following quote from this article comes straight from the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (bold added for effect)- "While the tax would be applied to high-cost plans, the Congressional Budget Office has said its principal impact would be to prompt consumers to purchase lower-value coverage. That, in turn, would raise the income tax they pay by reducing the deduction they can take for health care". Unless, of course, if you're a union member or work for the state or city - then you've been given a special deal. Incredible...

This can be called "redistribution of wealth" among the insured... Now you potentially have to lower your level of coverage so that you're not "better" than others. Who do these politicians think they're fooling? I'll tell you EXACTLY who they're fooling - they're fooling the approximately 36% of the electorate who are sleeping right thru this mess.

This all really needs to blow back right into the politicians' faces come November.
