Perino falsely suggested Cadillac tax “carve-out” only applied to union members <\/a><\/p>\n

Dana Perino falsely suggested that health care reform allowed unions a “carve-out” so that their high-cost “Cadillac” healthcare plans would not be taxed, but those of “the rest of us” would be taxed. In fact, changes made to the Senate health care reform bill delays the application and increases the thresholds of an excise tax for all high-cost plans — not just union plans — until 2018.<\/p>\n

From the April 9 exempted<\/a> high-cost union health care plans from the excise tax until 2018, reportedly<\/a> to give union members more time to renegotiate their contracts, while non-union high-cost health care plans would have been subject to the excise tax starting in 2013. That proposed compromise was never implemented.<\/p>\n
