You really need to read this…… starts next year
This is supposed to be 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 the15% 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: TITLE IX REVENUE PROVISIONS- SUBTITLE A: REVENUE OFFSET PROVISIONS-(sec. 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 that is excludable from the employees gross income."

Wonderful, now people who are in poverty but knew they had to have medical insurance will not be considered poverty and they will not receive tax benefits to help them through tough times.
Families like mine and a great majority of the countries families will move up to a higher tax bracket which means we too will not be able to get a little refund each year which helps us make that extra mortgage payment and to cover unexpected expenses.
Thanks so much Obama you are doing a real bang up job at ruining life as we know it. His change is ruining lives all across America..go back to kenya and leave us Americans alone.
So again the responsible have to pay. I know there are MANY people out there that can afford health insurance. They would rather drive a new car or go out to dinner or on a vacation every year.
