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.

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.

The math is funny, though. There are roughly 45 million uninsured in the US today. Some insured don't benefit from employer paid health insurance today an would hence be eligible for that tax credit. But let's go with that 45 million. Those 45 million will now receive a tax credit of $2,500.00 a piece. And that is supposed to be a $7 billion commitment. My calculator says no on that one.

$2,500.00 x 45,000,000 = $112,500,000,000.00

Now do that math over for me and bring that 112,500,000,000 down to that 7,000,000,000.

Good Luck!

Personally I liked the pre-60's Democrat party and what they stood for. Whereas the post 70's liberal dems. Geeezzz. Some of their ideals make Bin Laden and Ahmadinejad seem sane, in comparison.

The party is now obsessed with fictitious rights issues. As well as other bandwagon issue to jump on. Going green is the latest..

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.

ditto. first the whining about no uhc, then the whining about uhc. trying to make some people happy around here is like trying to find a virgin in congress.

McCain has not proposed anything that even remotely resembles UHC.

UHC will not work in the US. It needs to be some sort of hybrid system.
