48. Absolutely
They call it a Cadillac tax. I don't know many union members driving Cadillacs around.

It is an attack on organized labor, pure and simple. This bill wouldn't even exist without the backing of organized labor.

It is pretty simple to remove the Cadillac tax as well. We can implement other tax to make up for it, or cut some existing benefit.

The tax can be easily removed in technical sense, is there the political strength to remove it is the question.

This is the #1 problem with this bill.
