So is this tax on the cost of the insurance or on the benefits received? If the tax is on the cost of the insurance then it is a $25-$50 a paycheck tax increase. If it is a tax on the cost of benefits received, it will be impossible to pay since the government has increased the cost of healthcare so high if you have major procedure the tax could end up being more than 100% of your income very easily. This would FORCE everyone except the very rich and our government leaders to give up their private healthcare and go to the socialized medicine and end up getting no care. So then we are all slaves of the state and live or die at their whim.
