This steams me. During his campaign Obama slammed McCain on this idea and he said he was completely opposed to this.
<strong>Quote from President Obama's website during the election.</strong>
<blockquote>McCain's Stance on Health Care
John McCain?s health plan would tax health benefits for the first time ever ? imposing a trillion tax increase on working families and leaving millions without heath care.
</blockquote>
<strong>Ad run by the Obama Campaign</strong>
<blockquote>"On health care, John McCain promises a tax credit," an announcer says in one of Obama's new ads, over images of families examining their bills. "But here's what he won't tell you: McCain would make you pay taxes on your health benefits, taxing your health care for the first time ever, raising costs for employers who offer health care so your coverage could be reduced or dropped completely. You won't find one word about it on his website."
</blockquote>

<blockquote>?I don?t want to prejudge what they?re doing,? the president said, referring to proposals in the Senate to tax workers who get expensive insurance policies.</blockquote>
<strong>President Obama doesn't want to prejudge what Congress is doing? Does he mean re pre judge because he already judged it to be a bad idea during the campaign.</strong>
