Readers also learned that non-profit organizations are rebelling at the tax reforms proposed as a part of the federal government take-over of Americans’ access to medical services, expecially the tax credit to small businesses to subsidise their employees’ coverage. Because non-profits don’t pay income tax, they would not get the credit.
Non-profits, large and small, range from ACORN to the Heritage Foundation! As long as the health “reform” fiddles with the income-tax code, they will be seriously disadvantaged. It’s a big head-ache for the president’s agenda.
But the solution is simple: give the tax break to the employees, to buy health insurance of their choice, which they won’t automatically lose if they lose their jobs.
