@sarahkliff Serious question: What's the potential to bring premiums in line with the tax's thresholds without shifting costs to workers? -
@larry_levitt Of course you show up with the hardest question ;)

@sarahkliff what is the economic philosophy behind this? Is it just overconsumption by those with A+ plans? -
@chrsweiss@sarahkliff To take away the tax break you currently get from your company sponsored plan without you knowing they took it away. -

@sarahkliff How much solid (vs theory) evidence is there that incomes will grow as insurance generosity shrinks? Policies to “goose” that? -
@Bracktune@sarahkliff very little if any. They used old studies about cost shift onto wages, but in reverses. It's laughable.

@sarahkliff Specifically, how many people will it effect, and how many of those people are under collective bargaining agreements? -
@yeselson@sarahkliff Eventually it hits all plans since the trigger point grows at CPI (2%ish) and premiums grow at much faster rate.
