People need to read the candidates positions more carefully. I believe anymore that we are all lazy and don’t take the time to really understand the actual plans. McCain will tax benefits. On the otherhand he will give a tax credit for the purchase of healthcare. The problem is that the credit is not realistic. He stated the other day that his family credit of up to $5000 for family coverage is the average cost of family coverage and that is dead wrong. It understated by as much as $5000 to $6000.
As to Obama’s proposal, I see him using the existing system and requiring that all employees be covered, somewhat like worker’s compensation. I also see him opening up governmental based programs as default providers of coverage – alternatives to the existing, traditional insurance coverages.
