Taxing someone on the cost of their health care because it's too costly...that's putting the word "need" on something like healthcare. You don't really need that expensive of a plan...therefore we're going to tax you on it. Not everyone can afford it so guess what, we're going to make you pay for it.
While I don't quite know what context this is in...
I'll just say this... At some point, an insurance plan provided by an employer should not be tax free. When you start talking about things like acupuncture, private rooms and 5 star rehab: some of that has to count as compensation.
