"House Dems: Don't tax 'cadillac' plans"

[Project Grudge]

"More than half of the Democrats in the House have signed on to a letter denouncing a key element of the Senate Finance Committee’s health care legislation as labor unions draw a line in the sand on paying for reform.

The Democrats are attacking a plan to finance expanded health care by taxing expensive health insurance plans. The plan, sometimes cast as a tax on “Cadillac” plans, would in fact include the health care plans of many public employees and union members and has triggered a revolt from Obama’s labor supporters and their many allies on the Hill.
......
And angering the unions at a critical juncture in the health care fight opens a new front on Obama’s left flank at a time when many liberals are also fighting hard to include a government-sponsored insurance mechanism in the bill to compete with private insurers."

I hate the way Politico writes. This just proves how biased they are and how bad they want to setup Obama to fail.
