The Dec 16, 2015, end of year budget deal between congressional leaders and the White House did not repeal the "Cadillac tax" but delayed it for two years raising doubt about whether it will ever take effect, especially now that every major presidential candidate opposes it.
The Budget deal defers this tax on expensive employer health plans. The new tax has been dubbed the Cadillac tax because it applies to high-priced health-insurance plans, only.
If this tax is not changed or repealed, many NYSUT members would be negatively impacted by a dramatic increase in taxes on their health-insurance plans.
