Batter Up, Mr. Obama!

Today, President Obama announced his non-supportive support for the taxation of Employee Health Benefits. Now, by non-supportive support, I mean that has said he might maybe possibly support it but will not propose it to Congress. What will the taxation of Employee Health Benefits do you ask? Well, of the 250 million people in the United States who have Health Insurance, 65% of those people have insurance through job. What this non-proposed proposition would do, would tax every single employee with health benefits to have health benefits.
I'm sure most of you by now are planning an impromptu move to Canada but hold your horses. There are a few upsides to this imaginary piece of legislation. In the version of this law made by Senator John McCain of Arizona, the amount of money raised over the period of a decade, would number about 3.6 Trillion Dollars to go directly to a proposed "health care reserve fund".
The lack thereof limit on deductions proposed by President Obama originally would raise $318 billion over the same amount of time.
My concern isn't this law though. Honestly, your position on this law will most likely be decided by how much you can afford to pay more taxes for benefits. My concern is the lack of vertabrate seemed to be had by the Obama administration whose big ordeal continues to be kissing the Health Insurance Companies where the sun doesn't shine. Although not spoken by Obama himself, members of the administration are shutting up real fast about Health care issues. They cite the reason for their silence as a want to seperate themselves from the Clinton administration's failed attempt at Universal Health Care.
I am too close to the issue of health care to write much about it. All I will say is, I sure do hear the word affordable a lot in places where I used to hear Free......

Anyways, my blog today is a call for backbone in a sense. Barack Obama, if you are in favor of an issue, then stop being so vague and claim a stance. Sitting on the fence is for ignorant scholars, not the President of the United States of America. Don't worry about your image and choose a side based on the situation. I seem to recall, a certain President that was far too stubborn to do this.
Thank You,
