House GOP leaders who unveiled their “vision” for healthcare reform made clear that a major provision endorsed by 2008 GOP presidential nominee Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) was not included.

Rep. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), chairman of the Health Care Solutions Group that spent months writing a "comprehensive" reform plan, said that McCain's proposal to tax employer-based benefits was "certainly not part of our plan."

why don’t you read my g-ddamn post where I say I am opposed to national healthcare?

That's not what you said in the one I read. You were praising the 5000 "credit" which amounts to nationalized health care. That's the way I read and that's the way I responded. Next time don't chime in for National Health care if you don't believe in it. I don't know why YOU said you liked it and now say you don't...puzzler.

I like the part about getting $5,000 back of my money that the govt took.

You won’t get it back, you will be taxed in order for others to get it. You can’t run a pyramid scheme in the government anymore than in private life, altho the gov. tries it all the time. Getting the 5000 is the same as National health insurance, it is just the first step.
