This week Sen. Max Baucus introduced a major proposal on healthcare in an attempt to redo the system. The Baucus Bill  for an amount of $856 billion included new insurance regulations ….

Under the bill, people will be required to have insurance or pay a penalty. Also included are subsidies … Another key feature would be a tax on the so called “Cadillac Healthcare Plans”. This tax is said to be upwards of 35% of the cost of the plan and be used to fund the subsidies ….

The Baucus plan is catching heat from the conservatives for the cost as well as the liberals for not including a public option and for the tax on “Cadillac Plans” that are the sweet heart plan of most union members.

My opinion is that Sen. Baucus is being used by the President & his staff to propose a plan that will go no where so that Obama can come back in and lead the charge again for the “Public Option” plan that he so much favors. The whole deal was a set up / smoke screen from the beginning.
