Poll question: How will the Cadillac tax really affect you?

What do you pay together with your employer for Health insurance? Do you have a clue? If you really know, let us know.

Sure enough, the Manager’s Amendment adds under Section 9010(c)(2) a new subsection (C) tailored to exempt Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan and a new subsection (E) tailored to exempt Blue Cross Blue Shield of Nebraska from paying the new health insurance premium taxes.
