I'm very sorry, I do not understand what you're asking.


This is what I am saying ..... the tax (on value of health insurance) is federal only, the credit will offset the tax amount so there is no cost.

It is a right-wing meme that progressive taxation is Marxist.

Do you understand how McCain's Health plan would work?

It's normal to ask any question that's on the minds of the public.

Barack Obama And Joe Biden Have Consistently Lied To Americans About John McCain's Plan. Their claims have failed every fact check - from CBS to the Washington Post. John McCain is not going to raise taxes on middle class families. Barack Obama and Joe Biden are the only candidates in this race that plan to raise taxes.





Obama Fiction


The McCain Plan Will Reduce Medicare Spending By Billions By "Cutting Benefits, Eligibility or Both."


The Facts


John McCain believes that we can achieve savings in Medicare without reducing benefits or eligibility. He has proposed common-sense reforms that will not only put Medicare on a path of financial stability but ensure access to quality care for millions of Americans. Some of the policies proposed by the McCain plan include:




  • Promote payment reform that allows us to move away from the current fragmented and volume-based service to a system which rewards coordinated and quality focused care.


  • Eliminate Medicare fraud and abuse to ensure that nearly $60 billion a year, almost 10 percent of total Medicare spending, that goes to line the pocket of criminals instead of providing quality care for seniors.


  • Ensure that drug premiums for the wealthiest Americans are not being subsidized by the middle class.


  • Promote a new generation of treatment models that better manage chronic care conditions while rewarding prevention and wellness.


  • Greater use of Health IT and medical homes to promote greater co-ordination of care.


  • Reduce drug costs by allowing greater use of generics (including bio-generics).

The Obama Spin: If some of the proposals above sound familiar to Senator Obama's proposals including better managing chronic care diseases, greater use of health IT, promoting prevention and greater use of generic drugs - because they are. Only the liberal media and the Obama campaign would characterize similar proposals as "savings" in the their plan and "cutting benefits, eligibility or both" in the McCain plan.



Why McCain is Right on Healthcare
By Doug Holtz-Eakin
The Orlando Sentinel
October 21, 2008


Senior citizens of America: Your Medicare benefits are safe; the Democrat nominee for president is not. Health-care reform is one of the most important issue s in this campaign, and voters deserve an honest discussion of the issue.

Unfortunately, despite pledging to campaign according to a "new type of politics," Barack Obama has adopted one of the oldest tricks in politics: Hide the truth about your own policies, attack the opponent. Let's review the facts.

Sen. Obama has recently launched one of the most dishonest and distorting ads in recent memory. The ad falsely claims that Senator McCain will "cut Medicare benefits" to pay for his health-care plan.

Apparently Sen. Obama is against eliminating Medicare fraud that allows criminals to make millions by charging for fake procedures, payment reforms that will provide coordinated and more effective care for our seniors, and new treatment models that will better manage chronic-care diseases. These are among the reforms that Sen. McCain has proposed for Medicare.

Not one senior will be dropped from the rolls. Not one cut will occur. Instea d, seniors will receive higher quality care at lower cost and reduced premiums.

Another ad misleadingly accuses John McCain of taxing health insurance for the first time, leading to the largest middle-class tax increase in history. In reality, the tax code will subsidize -- not tax -- health insurance both before and after the McCain reforms.

It is true that the reform will make that subsidy more fair -- providing the same help to rich and poor regardless of the source of their insurance. This is a powerful way to reduce the number of uninsured, which is why even Sen. Obama's own economic policy adviser has advocated for a refundable tax credit like the one proposed by Sen. McCain. And there is no tax increase.

A final ad accuses Sen. McCain of sending the tax credit straight to insurance companies. American families can choose which policy best fits their family, and the insurance company that provides it. At that point, the funds will be tr ansferred to the insurance company of their choice.

The flood of distorting ads is apparently intended to change the subject from Barack Obama's plan. He will mandate that parents cover their children and fine them if they don't. He will mandate employers provide the insurance Barack Obama dictates, or face a fine if they don't. He refuses to explain either fine, and his top health adviser recently told the Wall Street Journal that they have no plans to come clean before the election.

Barack Obama's plan will cause almost 50 million Americans to lose the health coverage they currently have. It has been estimated to cost more than $240 billion annually -- a financial burden of more than $3,000 per American family.

Yes...there will be a redistributive Marxist tax credit given and a charging of taxes on the actual value of the benefit.

Funny, McCain doesn't answer the questions he considers stupid either.

Here's a story where McCain got mad at CNN for their treatment of Tucker Bounds and cancelled an interview.
