How is taxing the "Cadillac" health plans at a higher rate better for overall health care?

is this part of Obamas "trickle up" policy…why would people or companies want to pay for more expensive and better health care plans if you are going to be taxed higher…won’t this create worse health care for Americans…

Overall, if the reforms pass, healthcare for America will get better. That is why.

Why does no other developed nation have the US model of healthcare? Because in the US model, insurance companies use death panels to deny care to those they are meant to cover. And then they raise costs [1]. Not only does the USA spend more on healthcare than any other nation [2], it finds itself bottom of the table when it comes to preventable deaths due to treatable conditions when it comes to developed nations [3]. The sad thing is that rather than focus on these things, the right spreads lies and half truths about the reforms and how healthcare works abroad [4]. But, if you think that my points are wrong, e-mail me with proof.
