You all want something done about the uninsured and when it's offered you make fun of it. Ok, then have nothing. As long as a large percentage of Americans have health insurance there will never be UHC. Fine by me.

Gary, if you want a liberal, vote for a real liberal. Not some panderbear loser like McCain.

I would rather have a 75% conservative than a 100% liberal. Those are the choices I have.

The problem is that there's really no telling whether this will actually do anything towards having more people able to afford health insurance or if it will cause more employers to drop the benefit actually leaving more people struggling. I know that my employer contributes quite a bit more than 5K towards my family's coverage. So, either I get shafted paying taxes on an extra 8-9K a year or I get shafted having the bridge the gap between that 8 or 9K (probably more since group insurance it typically cheaper than individual coverage which we'd ave to rely on if my employer was to drop the plan) and the 5K McCain will let us have. Either way, we'll be worse off under this proposal. And we'll still have to deal with this horribly fragmented system.

So, excuse me for not being excited abut this ####### proposal.

I think you should read the story. This isn't the same thing that Troll posted.

You and I, and others with Health Benefits, however we don't know the details yet......If it's a plan to gross up your benefit cost, then the idea is to offset that gross up with the 5K, in my case a net 2k increase in my gross salary.

I don't know if that's the proposal though. We're speculating. Still, I don't think the plans offered by the dems will come in any better in terms of tax increases, and the idea of another government agency to manage Health Care is troubling, to say the least.

We need to sit this out as we don't have enough information to make an informed decision as to which is best, Mc's plan or the dems proposal......

Wait, and informed decision? I forget, we're on VJ, and we don't need no stink'n information to form an opinion! :lol:
