Tax Reform in This Election Year: It's Not Likely
Which Credit Card Rewards Does the IRS Care About?
The health care reform debate continues, and really, given the horse-trading and logrolling that's likely to occur in the upcoming conference committee to reconcile the House and Senate versions of each chamber's health care reform bill, assuming each chamber approves them, to cite a phrase used by political science professor Larry Sabato, the party's just begun.A bit jaded by it all? Don't be -- it's just the political process at work, and here's one, major positive to take out of the health care reform bill's passage: a new policy that will finally end the 'tax' that U.S. citizens and businesses pay for uninsured Americans who obtain health care services.
This 'hidden health care tax' increases at the rate of $1,354 per second or $116.98 million per day. As of Friday, the American people have been charged $33.37 billion this year to pay for health care for the uninsured: that's the bill that hospitals pass on to those who have insurance.
