WASHINGTON -- The White House left open the possibility Sunday that President Barack Obama might pay for his health care overhaul by taxing employer-provided health insurance even though he had campaigned on not raising taxes on middle-class families.

White House adviser David Axelrod said the administration wouldn't rule out taxing some employees' benefits to fund a health care agenda that has yet to take final form. The move would be a compromise with fellow Democrats, who are pushing the proposal as a way to pay for the massive undertaking without ballooning the federal deficit.

"There are a number of formulations and we'll wait and see. The important thing at this point is to keep the process moving, to keep people at the table, to the keep the discussions going," Axelrod said. "We've gotten a long way down the road and we want to finish that journey."

But if Obama compromises on that point, it would reverse his promise not to raise taxes on those earning less than $250,000. "I pledge that under my plan, no one making less than $250,000 a year will see any type of tax increase," Obama told a crowd in Dover, N.H., last year. "Not income tax, not capital gains taxes, not any kind of tax."

This is impossible!!Obama has assured us over and over again that if you make under 250,000 a year you wont pay one extra dime in taxes.Are you saying the messiah is nothing but a filthy liar?

He already lied, as it is HOUSEHOLD incomes over 250,000 that are hit with more taxation.  Another taxation deception would not be surprising.
Nationalized healthcare does not have to happen.  As we have posted numerous times, there are many things we can do before going to government ran healthcare.

This is nothing than a Marxist takeover of the govt. and economy.

It certainly is a marxist philosophy.  We can argue on what degree but it is definitely a class warfare concept.
