McCain's Health care plan - has either Dem mentioned it?

"McCain wants to do away with the tax exemption on employer-provided insurance. Instead, he would give a $2,500 annual tax credit to individuals, and $5,000 to families, to purchase their own coverage.

McCain's plan is meant to encourage individuals to purchase their insurance and free companies from the heavy cost of providing coverage. His theory is that employees would take their tax credit and flock to the open market, where they could shop around for the plan that best meets their needs. Insurance companies would have to become more competitive to win their business."

Does this plan suck or what?? Such B.S. The rates would probably double in a heartbeat.

I haven't heard Clinton or Obama talk about it yet. Anyone else?

1. I think they have assumed that everyone knows it sucks.

2. not C or O; Maddow had a nice piece on it and the arrests at M's office

The same day McCain was giving a speech on it in FL, after being introduced by a health care corporation executive, disabled activists in wheelchairs were being arrested in his Senate office.
