National Nurses United, America's largest nurses' union, is calling on House members to hold the line in opposing a tax on working family healthcare benefits. The union says it is unconscionable that workers and their families would have their coverage highly taxed and seriously eroded. National Nurses United Co-President Deborah Burger says advocates of the healthcare benefits tax have made it clear that the intent is to force working people into cheaper, higher-deductible plans that provide less coverage while shifting more of the costs to workers.
