This piece details some of the funding proposals in Baucus' bill that are upsetting liberal Democrats. the key one being the proposal to tax high end health plans. In this case, I have to say I'm a little more sympathetic to the 'moderate' position than usual, because it seems to me to be a reasonable way to raise revenue and remove the effective discrimination against people who have to buy their own health insurance plans but can't deduct the premiums unless all their medical expenses exceed 7% of income.
