Talk grows of repealing ObamaCare 'Cadillac tax'

The Hill reports:

Top senators from both parties say they see momentum building to repeal the “Cadillac tax" on high-end health plans, though they still have major questions about how to pay for it and what the negotiations would look like.

“The conversation is very much alive, and I don’t know if it will be done this year or next year,” Sen. Dick Durbin (Ill.), the chamber's No. 2 Democrat, said Tuesday.


Democratic leaders in both chambers are pushing for changes to the tax, which has become the top concern of their labor union allies heading into the 2016 elections.

But any bill to repeal or change the tax would likely require Democrats to concede on other unpopular parts of ObamaCare, such as agreeing to the repeal of the medical device tax. Republican leaders — who would be reluctant to hand over a win to Democrats — have not yet said what they would ask for in return.
