An important provision of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is a new target for repeal. On April 28, 2015, Rep. Joe Courtney (D-CT) introduced legislation (H.R. 2050) to eliminate the 40% excise tax on high-premium “Cadillac” health insurance plans. Set to take effect in 2018, the tax will apply to plans costing more than $10,200 for individual-only coverage, and more than $27,500 for family coverage. Although referred to as a tax on “Cadillac” plans, its impact is far broader and would likely implicate many employer-sponsored plans.
