To whom is Dr. Thomas referring and why is a physician worried about tax revenue? I would also like to point out that the ins. companies are clearly exceeding the 5% profit cap that was inacted by congress so that ins. companies would have to keep rates reasonable for everybody. On that note, ins. issues should be a state issue. The national legislative and executive bodies are not the correct forums for insurance issues. Ill stop rambling now. “People who get health benefits from employers pay no tax on the benefit but everybody else does…” To whom is Dr. Thomas referring and why is a physician worried about tax revenue?
