That's a great vision from the left - DON'T TAX THE RICH. Oh, only the "other" rich?
Teachers' unions provided a lot of the muscle to get the Affordable Care Act passed in 2010—but now they're supporting efforts to overturn one portion of the law that stands to affect some of their members: the law's excise tax on high-cost employer-provided health-care plans.
Both the American Federation of Teachers and the National Education Association have pledged their support for legislation introduced April 29 by Rep. Joe Courtney, D-Conn., that would repeal the tax, which goes into effect in 2018. The Courtney bill has more than 70 cosponsors, including three Republicans.
