I had not heard anything about that so I googled it and found that it's McCain who has a plan to tax the people who have health insurance through their jobs. Thanks for the clarification. I can't wait until I see her again! I just heard a woman talking about how Obama had a plan to tax health insurance.

McCain could well usher in such an overthrow with his health care plan. The hornets are angry after a decade of premium sharing and increased deductibles. A pox on the Houses of pandering politicians. Thomas Jefferson suggested the public hold a revolution once a generation. McCain could well usher in such an overthrow with his health care plan.

Mcwars is not what this country or the rest of the world wants or needs.His economics is for the wealthy while we on the bottom struggle.Tax cuts for the wealthy not onle help the wealthy they destroy the middle class and thsi country, can I say depression on 1929 from huge re-puke tax cuts for the wealthy in the Hoover administration, and look what we have currently it`s the same thing again.Vote Obama !

Which means most employers will cease providing health insurance as a benefit to workers other than top executives. Employers provide 58% of health insurance in America today. The seismic shift will feel like a major earthquake to most Americans. McCain wants to cut corporate taxes, yet he wants to tax health benefits? Confused where the pea is? Welcome to John's shell game. Your best move is to clear the table, walk away, and vote for anyone but John McCain. “First, his plan would tax workers’ health benefits.”

This would mean McCain would equalize benefits for same-sex couples, treating those nasty gay people the same way god-fearing heterosexual married folk are treated! Huh? Well, right now, if you're lucky enough to work for a business that offers domestic partner benefits, you have to pay added income tax on the value of that coverage -- what married folks now get as an untaxed fringe benefit. And McCain wants to take that away! Does James Dobson know? Golly!

When he opens up his mouth off the cuff-- and strays from these "talking points"-- garbage just pours out. Check out the new Iowa Democratic Party video about McCain's "healthcare" plan http://www.mccainvsiowa.com Best quote from the video, "Shaq challenged ME!"
