Taxing Health Benefits

There has been a proposal to fund the government option healthcare with a tax on health benefits that people not on the government plan will have to pay. I oppose this. To tax either the company generous enough to provide health benefits to its workers or the worker who has earned the healthcare is not right. It either taxes charity of companies or the earnings of workers who already pay income taxes. The tax code has many flawed taxes, we don't need to add another one.
