Should Feds Worry About the Health Care Excise Tax?

Reihan Salam, blogging over at National Review, says it's possible no one will ever end up paying it. The delay in implementation gives groups opposed to the tax plenty of time to try to kill or weaken it even further legislatively. I'd add that the potential for a threshold hike means that plans might avoid it, too. I think it's worth remembering that implementation of this, and other provisions, in the health care bill is going to take a long time, and that the impact is going to come clear bit by bit. No use panicking about anything--or going overboard on the celebration, either, until we know exactly how things are going to happen.
