IF PEOPLE WILL PAY FOR IT, WHY IS THE GOVERNMENT STOPPING THEM?

Public enemy number one of the moment is Cadillac insurance plans.  The Democrats are trying to focus on these ritzy plans in order to gain support of their plans to limit competition and make you dependent on the government for healthcare.  Obama's chief economic advisor Christina Romer says that the tax on Cadillac insurance plans is "probably the number one item that health economists across the ideological spectrum believe is likely to stem the explosion of health-care costs."

 

Did you hear that?  According to Obama's chief economist, the biggest savior to our healthcare system comes in the form of a tax.

 

Romer says, "It will discourage insurance companies from offering high-priced plans that would otherwise eat up larger and larger shares of workers' wages."  So now the government is in the business of dictating how employers set up their wages and benefits for workers.  If the government doesn't like the way your company has set up its benefits, tax them to death!  Eventually these plans will be eliminated and you will be forced to take on the government option, which will supposedly be cheaper (which it won't be).  Then you will magically increase the wages of your employees!  See how easy that was in liberal fairy land?
