Editorial #3- Health Care Plan C?

According to the author of this editorial published in the Washington Post, there are 3 plans to handling the Health Care Bill. Plan A is the current health care system, B is what is being voted on by the Senate, and Plan C is a new idea that would deal with the costliness of health care. 

Plan C would mean the implementation of a "Cadillac tax"on expensive health care plans. The author thinks that these taxes are necessary to raise money for the subsidies of the uninsured and it would be the most effective tool in reducing the cost growth that threatens the nation. President Obama doesn't seem interested in starting this tax, which the author says might be bad for that nation because of the rising national debt. 

I thought that this editorial was interesting because of its proposal for a new health care plan, but overall, I don't agree with the author's ideas. I am not a supporter of the new health care plan so not only do I not want to see it change, I definitely would not want to see a new tax imposed to raise money for it. In terms of easing national debt, I think that there are others ways we could go about solving it other than taxation.
