Senator Catherine Cortez Masto is cosponsoring the Middle Class Health Benefits Tax Repeal Act of 2019, the bill would repeal a 40% excise tax on certain employer-sponsored health insurance plans known as the “Cadillac Tax.” The Obamacare tax is expected to impact half of employer-based health plans by 2025. Cortez-Masto says “The rising cost of health care is one of the top concerns I hear from Nevadans. The Cadillac Tax unfairly punishes older workers, women, union and working families whose health insurance is provided by their employers.” Former Senator Dean Heller also tried to eliminate this tax.
