Wall Street Journal on McCain's Health Care Plan

From the Wall Street Journal:

Almost Everyone Would Do Better Under the McCain Health Plan

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1...956370705.html?mod=googlenews_wsj

Parts and Pieces:

Quote:
The McCain health-care insurance tax credit may well be one of the most misunderstood proposals of this presidential election. Barack Obama has been ruthless in his attacks. But the tax credit is highly progressive and will provide a powerful incentive for people to purchase health insurance. These features under normal circumstances should endear Democrats to the proposal.

Quote:
Consider homeowners and auto insurance policies. Do these cover routine spending on cleaning the gutters or tuning up a car.

Quote:
…this is precisely one of the objectives of the policy: to reduce the current tax bias that encourages people to funnel routine health expenses through insurance policies.

Quote:
…the credit has important implications for the nation's finances down the road. This is perhaps the most important aspect of the proposal.


Quote:
…by removing the tax bias for more generous health coverage, the McCain health credit also has the potential to provide important dividends to the entitlement problem down the road.

Yeah, that is valid and so are a whole bunch of other issues.  Unfortunatley America wants a rock star in the White House.  Let's face the facts, Obama is simply not qualified for the job and it's going to hurt anyone who earns a living pocketbook.  He will be a one term President just like Jimmy Carter.

A rock star? Come on, you can't be that much of an idiot. Please, if you can't say something intelligent, go suck on a lemon. You won't embarrass yourself that way by revealing your ignorance. And your face will still have the same sour look.

By your post, I'm assumming you haven't looked in the mirror lately.  I'll cut to the quick.  Name one major political acomplishment of Barack Obama other than running for higher office.  He is all smoke and mirrors.  His "plan" has no substance.  He has not been properly vetted by the press and that is not lost on many intellegent voters.
