I have a concern about McCain's plan to tax our employer provided health benefits, and also a question for clarification.

Hi, I posted this on another thread but I wanted to post it for you as well. I'm not trying to dismiss McCain's plan but I wanted to make you aware of one of my biggest concerns regarding it.

Thank you for posting that. I favor McCains plan because it will decrease my families healthcare costs by about 3000 a year. But we are fairly young and healthy and have some of our coverage covered by my employer, but not nearly what most people do. I couldn't understand why his plan was getting so much negative press, but now I can see its flaws. But at the end of the day, its still the plan that makes the most sense for my family. I wish Senator Obama would be more specific and give some actual dollar figures so I could do a fair comparison.

I completely understand why not knowing exact amounts can be frustrating. I think both plans leave us with a lot of unknowns. That being said, one of my primary reasons for liking Obama's plan over McCain's is that I think
