The little-known Medicare surtax may hammer millions in Obamacare tax battle

Midterms are coming. And the next big tax fight in America may not be over billionaires, yachts or real estate moguls.

It may be over a tiny little tax most Americans barely even know exists.

The hidden tax Democrats may quietly put front and center during the midterm elections is the 0.9% Medicare surtax, one of Obamacare’s least talked about money grabs. But with Medicare being the largest line item on our growing fiscal deficit, the Dems will look for any way to fund this growing liability.
