The NYTimes details the recommendations of a bi-partisan tax panel. One beautiful quote is:

The main proponent of the health insurance proposal, Timothy J. Muris, a former chairman of the Federal Trade Commission and a law professor at George Mason University, said limitless tax-free health insurance premiums encouraged workers to demand and companies to offer overly generous insurance and resulted in increased health costs

It's outrageous that someone actually believes that we have a problem with companies giving out overly generous health care.
