Taking a look at the health care plans of the Presidential candidates
There was an interesting editorial piece in the New York Times regarding John McCain’s healthcare plan and what it entails.
A few of my favorite parts :
the McCain health plan would treat employer-paid health benefits as income that employees would have to pay taxes on
So much for cutting taxes. And later in the article:
The whole idea of the McCain plan is to get families out of employer-paid health coverage and into the health insurance marketplace, where naked competition is supposed to take care of all ills
We’ve seen lately how well the free market works when regulation is weak, and there’s no doubt regulation would be weak in the healthcare sector.
For comparison purposes, here is another opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal comparing Senator Obama’s plan to Senator McCain’s.
Any thoughts on what matters to you in healthcare reform?
