Plugging the numbers Obama used in the debate for McCain's Health Care plan and the explanation of McCain's plan given
here shows it works as follows:
The quality isn't optimal as I only had tools/time/skill to make an animated gif of my concept and my software for that left a few smudged words. PLEASE, someone with better ability make this into a YouTube video or pass it along to McCain to make a commercial along this line. I'm going to mail it to Rush and Hannity, where it may or may not get noticed. McCain has a GREAT health care plan, but as Rush says it's hard to explain numbers with just words. I think average folks can understand something like this and I think it can fit into a 30 sec web or TV ad. Obama is hammering his health care lies. After people see this Viagra couldn't keep him up.
$12,000? I am quite certain that the insurance I had through work, until recently, did not cost our company THAT much.
That said, if one can get as good an individual plan as the company group plan, for the same money, one comes out ahead, IF your employer pays you that amount. But if all the employers dump their employee health care plans, where does McCain get the money to give away the $5000? It seems to me he’s roughly $2000 short, and like I said, I would not think most employee plans (to be paid to the employee as income instead) would generate even $3000 in tax revenue.) Am I missing something?
I have to admit, McCain does a terrible job of explaining his plan, and I have not even heard him addressing how it helps with the long term goal of reducing costs, though I think it would.
BTW, the animated GIF is not working for me...
