I do not follow Rush like a robot and in fact I disagree with him at least 15% of the time. The President plan is not income distribution but rather a tax cut and it is the ultimate free market capitalism.

You really need to read about the plan, because it is indeed income redistribution. Those with good health plans will be taxed on any amount over the set amount the GOV'T sets ($7,500 for a single, about 14,500 or so for a family). Then, that money will be used to finance tax breaks for those with no or poor health plans so they can go out and buy their own. But it's on the backs of those who have done well in their life's work and therefore will be penalized for having a good health insurance plan. Think about this. Tell me how it isn't income redistribution, using the IRS tax code to do it.
