I will be waiting.
Don't hold your breath since I don't think that Annenberg has dealt with the other tax increases and new taxes involved in the OP's link. THEY don't want to try to deal with the others since FactCheck.org and others like them haven't told them what to say yet.

Is that tax charged only to people who make more than $250,000? I haven't seen that part of the law yet. Either Obama lied about tax increases or this is not true. Which is it?

In 2007, President Bush proposed taxing health care benefits, and again during the 2008 election, when John McCain made the proposal a cornerstone of his health care plan.
We know that McCain didn't get what he suggested and that Bush didn't either. Now show us where Obama didn't get the tax instituted.

It has nothing to do with income tax.

Health Care Reform: 13 Tax Changes on the Way
You keep talking about the W-2 related costs and that doesn't answer any of the other costs on the OP's link. Why not read that link and then address all the other increases and new taxes listed?

Many of those on the list aren't on individuals, and most of the ones that are on individuals on the list are on the higher income amounts

Your point? The thread is a comprehensive list of taxes in Obamacare. Those are still taxes are they not?

Some, yes. Some are made up, others no longer allow a corporation to deduct a government expense as their own.

As far as my point, I simply stated that the stuff on the list does not increase the taxes on the vast majority of individuals.

There are over 12 new taxes listed in that link from the OP and somehow it seems that some of the people here want to only talk about the fact that what employers spend on their employees. How about all the other new and increased taxes in the list?
