Left-leaning advocates call for ending the tax exclusion for job-sponsored health benefits in the name of fairness. They think the benefits are an invisible tax break for wealthier Americans that's unavailable to poorer ones, who generally don't get job-based health insurance.

"The tax break is regressive because people at the lower-income brackets get less benefit. It does just the opposite of what it should," said David Kendall, a senior health-policy analyst at the Progressive Policy Institute in Washington, a research center for the centrist Democratic Leadership Council. "It promotes coverage for people who can already afford it."

Um, the solution Mr. Shit-for-brains, is to extend coverage to those who don't have it -- not snatch it from the hands of those who do. Does it occur to you that taxing people on the margin or in the middle will only prompt more of them to drop their health care coverage?

What a complete idiot. And a DLC-er, sooprize, sooprize.

Boy, it gets easier and easier to believe that the DLC is nothing more than a front organization for the right-wing. :grr:
