Never Thought I'd be Against Redistributing Wealth...yet here we are

I realize it's preliminary, but this idea should NOT go forward as it has been outlined in this article. Taxing the health benefits of people covered by their employers is absolutely fucking ridiculous. If I had to pay taxes on my OUTRAGEOUSLY expensive insurance (when I still had a job), I wouldn't have been able to afford said insurance. An idea like this protects many. And now that I am one of those 50 million without insurance, it would greatly benefit me. But a plan like this marginalizes people who are barely getting by as it is that still have jobs. There has to be a better way. there has to be a better idea. This is a massive failure on Congress' and Obama's part. Go back to the drawing board. Figure something else out.
