Your Taxes Next Year

This is part of the new Health Care Bill.

I contacted my Congressman about House bill HR3590 the health care bill Just passed. I asked for a summary of changes. The aid directed me to go to www: thomas.gov ; enter HR3590 in the search Box and look for summaries.

Starting in 2011 (next year folks) your W 2 tax form sent by your employer Will be increased to show the value of what ever health insurance you are Given by the company. It does not matter if that's a private concern or Governmental body of some sort. If you're retired ? So what; your gross will go up by the amount of insurance you get.

You will be required to pay taxes on a large sum of money that you have Never seen.

Take your tax form you just finished and see what $15,000 or $20,000 Additional gross does to your tax debt. That's what you'll pay next year. For many it also puts you into a new higher bracket so it's even worse.

This is how the government is going to buy insurance for 15 % that don't Have insurance and it's only part of the tax increases.

Not believing this I researched the summaries and here's what I'm reading:

On page 25 of 29 :

9001, as modified by sec. 10901) Sec.9002. "requires employers to include in the W-2 form of each employee The aggregate cost of applicable employer sponsored group health coverage
