As unpopular as it is, taxing all health benefits is the appropriate course of action. Health benefits are a form of compensation which some get and some don't. Therefore, those who don't get health care are subsidizing those that do through the tax code. Secondly, when you are getting something for free, you tend to overuse it. The problem is that McCain articulated this (correct) position in the campaign and Obama had to come out against it (along with his statement about no tax increases for those earning less than $250K).
