Taxes on Healthcare Benefits?

]]> A recent report on MSN said President Obama “could support taxing some employee health benefits” in an effort to ” help pay for overhauling the health care system.“

I have a huge problem with this! As someone who has several chronic health conditions, I look for work that includes health coverage. Often I have skipped over more lucrative jobs because they didn’t offer health benefits. Since we already pay an income tax, it is beyond wrong to charge us for having health insurance.

I don’t agree with this strategy, because it seems the average worker already foots the bill for a lot of things. Is there a better way to do this? What’s your opinion?
