I think the real question here is, why are large companies getting $100 million of tax credits in the first place? Where does that number come from?

The retiree drug subsidy is paid to companies that provide coverage for prescriptions to former workers who would otherwise be on a Medicare Part D plan. The average subsidy amounts to about $665 per plan member. Under prior law, the federal payment to companies was tax-exempt.

How many employees do they have in order to get up to $100 million?
(This is the problem with these short news stories, they don't go into the details of where they get these numbers from, or what type of people they polled, or even if they are stating facts or opinions.)
