[quote:Anonymous Coward 938262:MV8xMjcxMTg5XzIwNzc1ODIwXzNGNjVDMUU0] [quote:Lostbird] saw that shit today on the news and thought oh yeah it's coming and they are coming for 401 k's too it is on now but does anyone care? unless you are a tin capped tooth illegal anchor baby or some sort of welfare case say goodbye to any sort of insurance so the premise is for americans to really feel healthcare costs? shrink the government and also mandate that congress, house and all those 'serving' the american people get the same coverage.. Much agreed. I bet if they had to have the same insurance we would not be having this converstion. Their looking for anyway to screw us and I think the republicans will take the lead on this shit unfortunately. May the Great Spirit Bless you Take Care Tann [/quote] All the crap you agreed to by this poster is democrat induced and yet your mind blames the republicans your thought process is putting it kindly is flawed. With any luck, the republicans can place a spending leash upon obama and the rest of his tax and spend ilk and if we are real lucky obamacare will be repealed. [/quote]
Original Message
WASHINGTON – Job-based health care benefits could wind up on the chopping block if President Barack Obama and congressional Republicans get serious about cutting the deficit.
Budget proposals from leaders in both parties have urged shrinking or eliminating tax breaks that help make employer health insurance the leading source of coverage in the nation and a middle-class mainstay.
The idea isn't to just raise revenue, economists say, but finally to turn Americans into frugal health care consumers by having them face the full costs of their medical decisions.
Such a re-engineering was rejected by Democrats only a few months ago, at the height of the health care overhaul debate. But Washington has changed, with Republicans back in power and widespread fears that the burden of government debt may drag down the economy.
