Supermajority Opposes Taxing
Employer-Provided Health Benefits

According to a new Rasmussen Poll, people are not too keen on changing around the tax treatment of employer-provided health insurance coverage:

The survey also found that just 11% favor taxing health insurance benefits provided by employers. Seventy-seven percent (77%) are opposed. On this point, Republicans, Democrats, and unaffiliated voters share broadly similar views.

All of which, of course, begs the obvious question: why would anyone want to touch this tax benefit?  Why not simply cut taxes elsewhere to equalize the tax treatment of health insurance?
