Please join the IBEW to urge your member of Congress to oppose taxing the employer-provided health care benefits of IBEW members. Republicans in the Senate are now considering changes in the tax code that would devastate IBEW members’ health care plans. These changes would not only wreck IBEW health care plans but also destroy the healthcare of the approximately 170 million Americans who get their coverage through their employer. If the proposals Senate Republicans are debating right now were to become law, it would result in more out-of-pocket expenses, fewer benefits, and worse health care outcomes for IBEW members and their families. Please oppose taxing employer-provided health care benefits for IBEW members by using the toolkit below to raise awareness:
