60 Percent Oppose Obamacare Cadillac Tax

The public opposes ObamaCare’s “Cadillac Tax” on high-cost health insurance plans by a wide margin, according to a new poll.
The poll from the Kaiser Family Foundation, which does nonpartisan healthcare analysis, finds that 60 percent of the public opposes the tax, while 28 percent favor it.
The tax is meant to help control healthcare spending by providing an incentive for employers to pare back their plans and shift some costs onto employees. It would impose a 40 percent tax on plans whose cost rises above a certain threshold and is set to take effect in 2018.
The tax would fall on a number of union health plans, who worry it will curtail employee health benefits.
It has drawn opposition from Republicans, as well as some Democrats, including Hillary Clinton, who announced her opposition on Tuesday.
