President Bush has proposed treating employer insurance as income. This is his idea and way to level the increase the tax revenue at the Federal level - to pay for something. And that something is assistance for the poor to get insured. It seems to be a little more of the Federal Government playing Robin Hood again. However, the President also wants to make the cost of buying the health insurance tax deductible at up to $15,000.
While this seems like a reasonable goal, it may not be the best solution, and is sure to get opposition from both houses of Congress. Our medical plan - Ameriplan Health® proposes the need to for driving down the cost of health care, rather than just focusing on giving people the means to pay for ever increasing prices.
Ameriplan Health® provides contract agreements allowing our customers to receive 50% off most medical services. It is the consumer driven health care plans such as Ameriplan® that will help drive costs out of the system, and make health care more competitive.
