That's not what I'm saying. I'm trying to clarify the thread.

If this law passes and removes the cost of paying for health insurance from an employer...employees won't necessarily realize a wage increase, even though that previously was part of their compensation package.

Employers today pay a portion of the insurance that an employee receives (and the employee still has to pay premiums deductibles, etc.). That additional 10k or whatever it is per employee isn't necessarily going to now be paid out to the employee. The person you are responding to is saying that an employee may only see the income tax increase and not the raise to cover the no longer available benefit.
