Didn’t he just say that we would get a break for having health insurance and not tax them?
Doesnt this mean the rich will get richer? Look I am just a teacher and the soul supporter of my family. The only thing I thank God before I sleep is health benefits for my family and diabetic child.
He wants to make it so that no one can afford health? I am in shock. Does anyone else know this? What other things is he hiding?
JOHN McCAIN IS WRONG ON HEALTH CARE
McCain Wants to Tax Your Health Care Benefits. McCain’s plan will create a new tax on working families by making employer-provided health benefits part of taxable income. (Health08.org, Forum, 10/31/07)
McCain’s Plan Jeopardizes Our Health Care. It undermines existing employer-based health care and pushes workers into the private market to fight big insurance companies on their own. Despite a modest tax credit, his plan will increase costs, reduce benefits and leave many with no health care at all.
McCain Opposed Health Care for Millions of Children. McCain voted against reauthorizing the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) because he said it covered too many children. He then missed critical votes to provide an additional $35 billion to cover 4 million more children.
McCain Cut Billions from Medicare and Medicaid. McCain risked health care for seniors and low-income families by voting for billions in cuts to Medicare and $14 billion in cuts for Medicaid. He also supported raising the eligibility age for Medicare and increasing seniors’ premiums.

Actually getting health care into the open market wouldn’t be a bad idea. It would help bring down costs by forcing efficiencies on the health care providers.
Don’t be fooled into thinking you are getting a free ride because your employer covers your health care costs. They just take it out of money that you would have otherwise been paid.
Hard fact of life is that we can only pay for as much healthcare as we can generate in wealth. Government programs don’t make doctors or medicine just appear.
The problem with McCain’s, or Obama’s or any other plan is that they are unworkable, they assume a planning capacity that does not exist.
While it may seem these programs help with the cost of health care, in fact they drive up costs. You might not see the cost directly, but when you pay $3-$4 a gallon for gas, our social programs are one of the reasons why.
