Nearly half of all those in the United States get their health insurance from an employer. The value of those insurance policies is exempt from taxation, saving taxpayers $155 billion in 2016.
Proposals to start taxing at least some health benefits are dividing House Republicans as they struggle to replace President Barack Obama's health law. Some see it as another version of Obama's "Cadillac" tax on high-cost health insurance, which has been delayed until 2020.
