Trade-off
Ending the tax exclusion raises revenue and fairness but takes away a tax benefit workers didn't see as income.
Part of: Rewrite insurance & benefits law
Amend ERISA, the tax code, and the ACA so that employer plans and private insurance cannot duplicate UHP benefits, and so supplementary insurance is regulated.
This step changes 10 existing laws, programs, or institutions. See the list.
