LOL, glad I'm not voting for Nader - I don't think anyone wants a health system like Canada.
"What I don't like (AT ALL!) about McCain's plan is that he wants us to all be in charge of our own health insurance - no more health plans through employers, meaning no more group rates."
Jen, I really would be interested in some proof of this claim. Or is this just an opinion of his position?

Wrong!
"John McCain Will Reform The Tax Code To Offer More Choices Beyond Employer-Based Health Insurance Coverage. While still having the option of employer-based coverage, every family will receive a direct refundable tax credit - effectively cash - of $2,500 for individuals and $5,000 for families to offset the cost of insurance. Families will be able to choose the insurance provider that suits them best and the money would be sent directly to the insurance provider. Those obtaining innovative insurance that costs less than the credit can deposit the remainder in expanded Health Savings Accounts."

He has changed that somewhat.
In the beginning, he was talking about giving this credit, and people would be getting their own plans, and the companies would be supposedly competing for the business, and this would eliminate employer-based plans.
