The current tax break for health insurance is discriminatory, unfair, and, quite frankly, a mess.  Employer-provided health insurance is tax free from income and payroll taxes.  Self-employed individuals get to deduct the cost of their premiums from income.  And, consumers who buy their own policy get no tax break.  Workers who are displaced from a job due to a trade agreement get a 65 percent tax credit under the Health Care Tax Credit (HCTC).  This mess cannot continue.

We believe the tax break for health insurance needs to be fair, nondiscriminatory, and apply to all Americans whether they get their health insurance from their employer or not.
