Published just prior to the White House releasing the President's 11-page health reform proposal, a report authored by Ken Jacobs and William Dow from the University of California, Berkeley's Labor Center analyzes the proposed "Cadillac" excise tax on high-cost health benefit plans. In their analysis, the authors find that the vast majority, fully 80 percent, of employees whose plans would be affected by the tax are not protected by collective bargaining agreements.
The President's proposal released on Monday raises the threshold of the excise tax from $23,000 in the Senate bill to $27,000 for a family plan and delays enforcement of the tax until 2018.
