Mindmeld, > However, I do know that this health bill increases taxes on gold plated plans and on families making more than $250K.

Spread the wealth.

No one can define what a "gold-plated plan" is.

We already knew that people making over $250K would get screwed over in an Obamanation, but that threshold will likely drop since it too is an arbitrary figure.

> If anything, I think the insurance companies are popping the champagne corks, because this bill gives them 30 million new customers by gov't mandate.

If the insurance companies win out, that will be on the backs of healthy citizens who would prefer not to be insured, but are forced to anyway. In other words, a tax on the healthy.

My prediction is that Big Insurance will lose. I take the Democrats at their word when they all but announce their intentions to destroy private health insurance.
