Heller stresses devastating impacts of tax affecting 1.3 million Nevadans

(Washington, DC) –Recently, U.S. Senator Dean Heller (R-NV) spoke at a United States Committee on Finance markup in support of his bipartisan legislation to repeal the Cadillac tax, a devastating 40 percent excise tax on employer-sponsored health care. The tax will negatively impact 1.3 million in Nevada alone, including public employees, service industry workers, and small business owners and retirees.  

BACKGROUND:

Senator Heller along with Senator Martin Heinrich (D-NM) successfully steered through the Senate a bipartisan amendment to fully repeal the Cadillac tax by a vote of 90-10.

Later, their efforts led to a two-year delay on implementation of the Cadillac tax.
