Apparently people who get Health Care thru Employers would lose some money as it would then be taxable income. Makes a bad plan even worse.

Although I don't think this is an accurate representation of the plan, I'm not sure it's a bad thing. The exclusion of health care benefits from income doesn't make much sense. If you think the government should be subsidizing health care, then it should do so across the board, not just for employer-provided insurance.
