The ideal for assuring the provision of adequate health care for millions of Americans is for employers, employees and individuals to arrange cooperatively for medical insurance, and then for government -- meaning taxpayers -- to help those who are otherwise unable to meet their medical needs.
But in a move that threatens to be counterproductive, liberal Democrats in Congress are considering imposing a new tax upon health insurance plans that are considered "too good."
We should want everyone to have excellent medical insurance. Does it make sense to try to tax those who do?
