Guess Which Tax Increase Republicans Support

Republicans are against all tax increases, right? Wrong! If a tax in increase can do something to hurt Obamacare, it’s an entirely different story.

GOP senators balked when Democrats proposed delaying a new temporary fee on everyone covered by health insurance.

So employers, insurance companies and other health plan sponsors are in line to pay $63 a person next year for everyone who has coverage. The temporary fee covers all workers, spouses and dependents covered by health insurance.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., proposed delaying the fee in recent budget talks with Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. McConnell and other Republican senators objected; the fee was left intact.

GOP senators complained the delay was basically a favor for labor unions, traditional Democratic allies that oppose the new fee.

So if they can screw the unions and do any damage to Obamacare, let the no-tax rule be damned.
