Deal?

It appears that a deal has been struck between labor and the White House (though there are lots of players here, including, of course, the House and Senate) on the excise tax on “Cadillac” health insurance plans. Details still to come. This doesn’t mean a final bill has been agreed to, but it was one of the major sticking points.
