On the recordMarch 16, 2010
It seems to me morally indefensible, morally indefensible to say to the American people, If you work for a big, big, big employer--like you and I do, the Federal Government--or like we'll say, General Motors or Intel or Motorola or AT&T or any of those big employers, you work for a big employer, you're a lucky guy or a lucky gal because your health insurance is tax free. Your employer buys the health insurance and writes off the cost of buying that health insurance. Your employer then gives that health insurance coverage to you, and it's not income to you. So the tax on-- we'll say, a $5,000 insurance policy--zero, zip, zero, nothing because you were lucky enough to go to work for a big employer. But the law in America--and I think this is what is morally indefensible.
