This amendment reflects the same goal as S. 2045, the Middle Class Health Benefits Tax Repeal Act of 2015, the only bipartisan piece of legislation to fully repeal this onerous tax.\r\nIn addition, Senator Heller led a bipartisan, bicameral press conference with Senator Martin Heinrich (D-NM), Congressmen Joe Courtney (D-CT02) and Frank Guinta (R-NH01), as well as the Alliance to Fight the 40, to continue the fight to fully repeal the Cadillac Tax. To watch Senator Heller speak at the press conference, click HERE or on the video below.\r\nBackground: \r\nIn September, Senators Heller and Heinrich introduced S. 2045, which fully repeals the Affordable Care Acts Cadillac Tax. The two Senators introduced this Senate companion to Congressman Courtneys House legislation. Beginning in 2018, the Cadillac Tax will tax employers whose health insurance plans cost more than $10,200 a year for individuals and $27,450 a year for families at 40 percent of the cost above those limits. In Nevada alone, 1.3 million workers who have employer-sponsored health insurance plans will be hit by this tax.\r\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.heller.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/pressreleases?ContentRecord_id=6ca1fc8c-3ffc-4e92-b2ad-3c65c5a6e782"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9009279310703278, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
