21. The plans are not "Cadillac" and I'm sick of that term
Edited on Tue Jan-12-10 08:05 PM by laughingliberal
They are defined solely by the cost of the premium, not the benefits. There are many workers with small businesses and a large number of older workers who pay premiums of that level for pretty standard policies. Calling them "Cadillac Plans" is just another attempt to turn working and middle class Americans against each other so we fight among ourselves and leave the uber rich who can give large sums of money to their campaigns alone. Yes, there are a lot of hits the self employed take but going after workers is not going to change that and, in the end, lets those who are getting all the breaks off the hook and hurting everyone who is not making over $250,000 per year. There is a bigger picture here that affects all of us.
