Obama open to taxing health benefits in healthcare overhaul
President Obama signals openness to taxing health care benefits as a potential funding option for a sweeping health care overhaul. Senate negotiators, led by Max Baucus, say the idea is on the table, though the White House stated he does not want to pursue it. The move aims to cover about 1.5 trillion dollars over a decade with bipartisan debate amid labor and Democratic opposition.
