These are all new taxes starting in less than 5 months. Some take full effect by 2014.
This list does not include anticipated increases in insurance premiums or actual health care.

New tax on individuals who do not purchase government-approved
health insurance. $17 Billion

New tax on employers who fail to fully comply with government health
insurance mandates. $52 Billion

New 40% excise tax on certain high-cost health plans. $32 Billion

New ban on the purchase of over-the-counter drugs using funds from
FSAs, HSAs and HRAs. $5 Billion

Increase the Medicare tax on wages and self-employment income by
0.9% and impose a new 3.8% surtax on certain investment income (for
individuals over $200,000 and couples over $250,000). $210.2 Billion

Increase, from 7.5% to 10% of income, the threshold after which
individuals can deduct out of pocket medical expenses. $15.2 Billion

Impose a new $2,500 annual cap on FSA contributions. $13 Billion

New annual tax on health insurance $60.1Billion

New annual tax on brand name pharmaceuticals. $27 Billion

New 2.3% excise tax on certain medical devices. $20 Billion

New 10% tax on indoor UV tanning services. $2.7 Billion

New tax on insured and self-insured health plans. $2.6 Billion

Double the penalty for non-qualified HSA distributions. $1.4 Billion

Eliminate the deduction for expenses allocable to Medicare Part D
Subsidy. $4.5 Billion

Limit the deduction for compensation to officers, employees and
directors of certain health insurance providers $0.6 Billion

We have not listed them all. Remember, any tax imposed on medical device makers or
pharmaceutical companies is just passed on to the consumer as another cost of doing business.
In fact pharmaceutical companies have already begun to double and more,
the cost of their drugs in anticipation of the new tax starting in January.
