But there are some provisions in the pending legislation that, if included in the final bill, may well drape Democratic candidates with “Kick Me” signs come November. One of these is the excise tax on more costly GOOD LOW PRICES health insurance policies, a feature of the Senate bill that President Obama supports but that is opposed by organized labor and most House Democrats. Another on what you is the fine to be paid by individuals who decline any coverage — it’s a relatively small amount (the Senate bill sets it at $95 for the first need today year) but an issue that could loom large in the political wars to come. In a speech Monday, AFL- CIO President Richard Trumka raised the specter of the 1994 election, when “working Americans ... couldn’t tell the difference between the two parties.” This time around, Trumka warned, unless the president and Congress step up their efforts at job creation, bank regulation and labor law reform, and unless they drop the proposal to fund health reform through the excise tax — which, he said, would be levied on 31 million Americans — Democrats might be looking at another electoral debacle. Economists are united on the need to slow the upward spiral of health insurance costs — a concern the House bill addressed by creating a public plan to compete with the private ones.
