According to http://boston.bizjournals.com/boston/stories/2009/09/14/daily31.html
“The legislation calls for taxing insurance companies if they offer high-end insurance plans. A $6 billion annual fee also would be assessed on all health insurance companies. Pharmaceutical companies, medical device companies and clinical laboratories also would be hit with new taxes.”
Now, who is going to pay the $6 billion? I can’t believe those insurers are going to take it off their bottom line, so how does this reduce the cost of insurance, and how can this be claimed as reform?
