Interesting read...

I think I see one problem though...

It seems that the plan is counting on employers to continue to provide insurance. If an employer loses the tax credits he now receives, then he may have to discontinue insurance, and, unless he gives the employee a big raise, the employee may see a big increase in cost instead of a reduction.

Or am I reading this wrong?


BTW - isnt this redistributing wealth by taking the tax credit currently given to corporations and giving it to the people?

If you don't think the cost of an employees insurance is calculated into their wages, well.....

Of course, coming from "I'm supporting Obama because he promises me 'free lunches', doesn't surprise me.

So tell me - what will employers do when they lose the tax credits they get now??? You think they'll just bear the additional cost?

Yea right, and Obama will be president, and Mc cain his vice president.
I have never thought employers should have to pay one cent for employee's health care, or pensions.

I could ask you the same question re: Obama's new BIG TAX on all small businesses making over $250K. Or is it $200K? Or $150K? Obama and Biden keep lowering the number.
