ATR President Grover Norquist today penned an op-ed in Investor’s Business Daily. The subject is tax hikes on your current health insurance plan in the Senate health bill. Here is an excerpt:
President Obama likes to say that "if you like your current health insurance plan, you can keep it." This naive platitude is simply not true.
Under the plan voted out of the Senate Finance Committee and being considered by the full Senate, "your current health insurance plan" will be taxed to the point where it is no longer recognizable, or goes away entirely.
This means the president hasn’t read the Senate Finance plan or he’s misrepresenting its content.
Either way, the story needs to be set straight.
