Modernization: Over half the savings come from the public savings generated from
Hillary Clinton’s broader agenda to modernize the heath systems and reduce wasteful
health spending.
• A Net Tax Cut for American Taxpayers: The plan offers tens of millions of Americans a
new tax credit to make premiums affordable—which more than offsets the increased
revenues from the Plan’s provisions to limit the employer tax exclusion for healthcare
and discontinue portions of the Bush tax cuts for those making over $250,000. Thus,
the plan provides a net tax cut for American taxpayers.
• Making the Employer Tax Exclusion for Healthcare Fairer: The plan protects
the current exclusion from taxes of employer-provided health premiums, but limits the
exclusion for the high-end portion of very generous plans for those making over
$250,000.
